We aim to be approachable, unique in our service delivery and stay true to our brand values of serving the freshest,most authentic premium shawarma around.
OUR PROCESS
Investing in a business is a big decision, almost as significant as getting married, buying a home, or starting a family. At Chefs Door, we understand the emotional and practical aspects of this journey. That’s why we’ve designed a thorough investigative process to help you assess our business model and determine if it’s the right fit for you. At the same time, our Head Office will evaluate your potential for success. We call this “reciprocal due diligence.”Our shared goal is to make a well-informed decision, together. A typical process and time line for approvals takes anywhere from four to eight weeks, and is contingent on a minimum of two successful franchise business meetings, a completed franchise application that is pre-approved, credit score of at least 670, review of our Franchise Disclosure Document and consistent engagement and positive attitude throughout the Discovery Process.
FIRST STEPS
If you are interested in learning more, a member of our franchise development team will be happy to schedule an initial discovery call with you to answer important questions and evaluate if you qualify for this opportunity. If it is determined it is a good mutual fit to proceed, an action plan will be created as part of your Discovery Process with Chefs Door. Once this first step has been taken, it is important to be able to dedicate over the next four weeks the following throughout your Discovery Process:
2-3 hours a week for meetings and phone calls
3 hours of time for tours and tastings
4-6 hours for additional presentations and your due diligence
During this period of time, we will work with you on your goals to becoming a potential Chefs Door owner and keep you on track in your exploration and due diligence journey.
THE DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS
At Chefs Door, we believe in transparency and mutual success. Our due diligence process is crafted to ensure that each party can make a well-informed business decision before entering into a franchise agreement. This means to us giving you a transparent and open process and also allowing you plenty of opportunity to tour locations, review our business model and meet with Leadership.
This meticulous process aligns with relevant franchise legislation and adheres to the Code of Ethics of the Canadian Franchise Association,, making your journey with us as smooth and clear as our authentic shawarma flavours.
