CRIS11_DPG_r13_FINAL.indd 15 3/31/11 12:33 PM
Quick service and family casual restaurants have a broad appeal and are
able to expand to multiple locations within a particular market and beyond.
An expansion will often take the restaurateur across a border, whether
country, state or provincial. The restaurateur will encounter some or all
of: differing laws, costs for labour, construction and equipment, market
demands, cultures and languages. All of which can exist in an expansion
across even a provincial border, i.e. the Ontario/Quebec border.
Having worked hard to establish the best working model in the home
the restaurant owner will encounter greater travel costs and extra costs in
establishing solid supply chains locally or across borders; possibly greater
marketing costs, costs for foreign market research for adaptation issues,
translation costs for agreements and manuals, legal costs to protect
trademarks and comply with local laws, etc., etc., etc.
Market research comes up as the next big consideration. Assuming
that everyone in the world loves your concept as is, can lead to big
welcome in the new market.
People run businesses, not machines. Having the right people to do the
required jobs is critical in any business, whether domestic or foreign.
However, the skill sets for international expansions, in many ways, are
different than the skill sets for purely domestic business. One reason for
this is that, internationally, the restaurant owner is dealing with cultural and
possibly linguistic differences that are sometimes deep and complex. If your
people do not understand the nuances of the foreign market, the chances
for failure are that much greater.
While there is no magic formula to follow to assure success in any business
endeavour—and certainly not for cross border expansions—there are tried
and true methods of approaching such expansions that can maximize the
restaurant owner’s chances for success and avoid predictable disasters. The
on careful thought and planning, reasonable expectations, measured growth
and solid business practices.
