Business for Sale Overview:

Designed Dinners is a new concept in providing busy customers with gourmet meals at reasonable prices to help those who don't want to plan a meal, shop for ingredients and slave over a stove. Designed Dinners' Certified Chef designs restaurant-quality dinners made from premium ingredients that you cook at home. Imagine a business where you only need to be physically present for 2-3 hours, 3-4 times per week, at times that are convenient; where you never have collection issues because all clients have paid up-front; where many of the admin tasks like scheduling clients and accepting payments are automated through a website; and where it feels more like a social event when you have sessions with clients rather than a business. This is a perfect business for someone who needs flexibility of schedule, and who likes to entertain. When customers arrive you may share a glass of wine with them and good conversation as they prepare delicious and nutritious gourmet meals.

Property Features and Assets:

After signing a franchise agreement, the franchisee will need to locate a 1200-1800 square foot, well-trafficked space, close to freeway access, with plenty of well lit parking. The franchisor's staff will approve the location, but the franchisee will play the primary role in locating the space. The franchisor will also help with store build out and the equipment needed.

Market Competition and Expansion:

There are a few other franchises that have a similar business model, but there are a few distinct differences: 1, Designed Dinners doesn't have walk-in business - rather it only allows clients to come to sessions that they have scheduled - which allows the franchisee to eliminate wasted "waiting" time; 2, The other competitors focus on making more home-style food, whereas Designed Dinners has a more gourmet menu put together by an experienced chef (see the menu on-line); and 3, A wider array of selection of menu choices. Being a relatively new franchise, there are many franchise territories available as well as the opportunity to be a master franchise.
