|  Our
track record of serving delicious Baby Back Ribs, Mouth Watering Grilled
Mesquite Chicken and of course "The Worlds Best Barbecue Since 1950"
speaks for itself. Bar-B-Cutie is in it's third generation of family ownership.
After being in business successfully for over 58 years we are now offering
opportunities to entrepreneurs who want to own and operate their own Bar-B-Cutie
restaurant.
Then…And
NOW!
Bar-B-Cutie®
has quite a story as any business would that had actually made it in business
for 58 years. Like any business we have made mistakes but the good news
is we have made the mistakes for our franchisees. If it could be tried
we tried it and if our way did not work we improved it.
Bar-B-Cutie
opened its doors back in 1950 on Murfreesboro Road in Nashville, Tennessee
serving short orders (known today as fast food) and the
best Bar-B-Q found anywhere, using car hops to deliver our delicious
food to our customers' automobiles. A small dining room accommodated 16
to 20 guests.
Eddie
and Mildred McFarland purchased the restaurant in 1958, expanding the
menu with Southern Comfort Foods, adding a much larger dining area and
the business began to prosper beyond their expectations. Bar-B-Cutie soon
became a family affair and now the McFarland Family is enjoying its third
generation of management.
After
several years of prospering we knew we had the right stuff and knew it
was time to grow. We knew the Bar-B-Cutie® concept could
work in Anytown, USA but we also knew we wanted owner/operators. We knew
we could train people to execute the concept, so in 2003 we started our
franchise and support company.
We
now are poised to grow our BRAND in the U.S. as well as internationally.
We know this because our food is great and our pricing is reasonable and
when you put that in a clean and comfortable atmosphere coupled with superb
service you have a winner. We truly care about our franchisees as well
as our combined customers. We welcome you to take a closer look at our
franchise opportunity!
We
want to thank you ahead of time for taking the time to find out more about
how you can obtain a slice of the American dream by owning a Bar-B-Cutie®
restaurant. Bar-B-Cutie® wants potential franchisees to
fully understand what they are getting into. Our style is to lay the cards
out on the table so you can make a well informed decision. When you have
been in business for 55 years you understand how things work and that
is why we are so proud to offer you the opportunity to join our franchise
family.
Franchising
Information:

$35,000.00
What
are the royalty fees?
5%
of weekly gross sales
How
long is the training program?
Bar-B-Cutie®
understands that your training is the most important part of the equation
so we put a lot of energy into making sure you understand each and every
step that you will need to take to run a Bar-B-Cutie® restaurant.
Our training program is for 4 weeks, minimum. You will spend three weeks
training at multiple stores in the Nashville trade area (our headquarter
location) and then we will send a team to come in and help you get your
store open. We then make follow up compliance & support visits throughout
the year.
How
long will it take us to open our store?
The
timeline for getting your store open varies. Construction and Up fitting
your store could take between 90 days to as long as 6 months. Our team
supports you throughout this process.
What
types of franchises do you offer?
We
have three opportunities. We prefer single store franchise agreements.
This allows us to focus one store at a time but we also welcome area developers
and master franchisors.
Do
you help us with site selection?
We
don't choose your location as nobody knows the real estate in town better
than a local broker and you. We do approve sites and offer suggestions.
With rent rates being so high now days we like to not bite off what does
not make the numbers work so we advise our franchisees to look at hot
spots that are 2000 to 2500 square feet. The drive thru portion of our
business is strong. Therefore, when looking at properties we also advise
you to look for easy access with a drive thru window capability.
Do
you give us a business plan and get us financed?
Because
we follow all FTC guidelines, we cannot provide you with a business plan.
We also feel our approved franchisees grow thru the process of developing
their own business plan. A true business plan can't be completed until
the franchise has been granted and the location approved and all costs
figured into the plan. We have sources that can offer financing but we
can only give you the contacts. Lenders are looking first at the franchisor
and their track record. Bar-B-Cutie has one of the strongest track records
in today's world of franchising.
