INTRODUCTION A constant source of tension between mature franchisors and their franchisees is the periodic need to modify the network’s concept and system to keep up with (or ahead of) the competition; to incorporate new technologies; to respond to changed consumer demographics, ethnicities, preferences and trends; to introduce new products or services and delete from the system older products and services; to modify existing trademarks/service marks, or abandon them altogether in favor of new trademarks/service marks; to modify the exterior and interior design of the network’s units and the equipment utilized thereat; to establish new advertising platforms and campaigns; to require integration of new technologies; to compel franchisees to undergo additional training regarding the foregoing; and, otherwise to keep the mature franchise network’s image, products and/or services fresh, competitive and responsive. Sometimes, modifying a mature franchisor’s concept and system requires franchisees to make only slight changes. Other times, substantial unit renovations, franchisee retraining and new product/service offerings are involved. Yet other times, a complete system overhaul is involved, requiring franchisees to retrofit their units completely to the new concept, operate under new trademarks/service marks and deal with entirely new product/service lines in lieu of existing product/service lines (whether attendant to a “conversion” acquisition of the chain -- as when United Parcel Service [“UPS”] acquired the Mail Boxes Etc. network -- or merely to recast the franchise network’s competitive positioning). Modifying the mature franchisor’s system almost always involves a degree of expense to be absorbed by the franchisee. As reflected by the range of activity set forth above, sometimes this franchisee expense is minimal, and sometimes it is most substantial. Frequently, the mature franchisor’s attempt to overhaul its system encounters resistance from franchisees, which can range from slight to massive depending upon the degree of franchisee investment required; franchisee uncertainty about what the economic impact will be of the contemplated changes; the sometimes disparate burdens the overhaul will trigger among franchised units; the number of years remaining before franchise expiration; and, truth be told, franchisee inertia (“I’ve been doing this for so long, I don’t want to change my ways now”). It is useful to remember that a number of McDonald’s franchisees were absolutely aghast when, following many years of tests, McDonald’s informed them three decades ago that the McDonald’s system would now include breakfast. Over the previous decades, McDonald’s restaurants were keyed only to lunch and dinner. The notion of opening their units before dawn, having to add an extra shift, having to learn how to prepare and offer a multiplicity of new menu items and investing the money required to achieve the foregoing (including unit renovations) prompted great fear and, 1 sometimes, hostility on the part of some McDonald’s franchisees. In hindsight, of course, such concerns seem unworthy, since McDonald’s launch into the breakfast arena proved so popular and profitable to all concerned. But at the time, the concerns were very real. McDonald’s franchisees were not alone in having to confront significant system and concept changes. Pizza Hut franchisees had to get into delivery when Domino’s success thereat started threatening Pizza Hut’s market share. Several commonly controlled franchise networks – such as Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins - - had to learn how to co-brand each other’s products to increase both chains’ menu offerings and daypart opportunities. Virtually every guest lodging network over the past decade had to implement a “guest loyalty” program and properly allocate its costs and benefits. And McDonald’s franchisees once again recently confronted a significant system overhaul - - the implementation of the new “McCafe” coffee concept. The ability of a mature franchisor to effect such system/concept changes largely derives from the reserved contractual right to do so. Franchise agreement language addressing this subject is critical - - and we furnish suggested language below. But even when franchise agreement language specifically reserving to the franchisor the right to initiate systemwide changes is extant, franchisee lawsuits complaining of the franchisor’s exercise of said right have been forthcoming, as analyzed immediately below. To minimize the risk of such lawsuits, a franchisor is well- advised to be sensitive to the franchisee community’s receptiveness to the change. Even if the contract imbues the franchisor with the authority to require a change, consideration should be given to “selling” the change to franchisees, so that the franchisee perceives the requirement not as a mandate, but rather as a logical business investment. Thus, as a practical matter, the way in which the mature franchisor rolls out system-wide change among franchisees can be just as critical to a successful transition as the enabling contractual language. While the franchise agreement provides the contractual authority for change on the one hand, the well-prepared franchisor will also take proactive measures to present to franchisees a compelling business case for the change. Such efforts on the front end serve to minimize dissent and friction with the franchisees. II. CASE LAW ADDRESSING MATURE FRANCHISOR SYSTEM/CONCEPT MODIFICATION A. Systemic Changes It did not take long for a franchisee to sue its franchisor complaining of imposed system modifications. 2 The franchisor in question - - Burger King - - was not so “mature” at the time, namely 1966. It was then that a franchisee, in Trail Burger King, Inc. v. Burger King of Miami, Inc.,1 complained of Burger King changing certain standards and specifications - - including an increase in the quantity of meat to be used in making hamburgers. The franchisee refused to comply with Burger King’s new standards. According to the Court, the franchisee deliberately sold hamburgers containing less meat than Burger King’s new specifications required; refused to provide adequate condiments on tables; refused to provide background music; refused to paint his building; and, utilized unauthorized drink dispensers. The franchisee filed suit over Burger King’s threatened termination of its franchise. Following a motion for a judgment on the pleadings, the Court found that there was

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Dunkin' Donuts Started
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Dunkin' Donuts started its business in Indonesia with its first store built in 1985 at Jalan Hayam Wuruk, Jakarta. Followed by the arrival of new competitors of other national and multinational donut companies that enter Indonesian market, there are Country Style Donuts from Canada, Donuts Xpress from Australia, Krispy Kreme from United States, Mister Donut from Japan, J.Co Donuts and many more. Dunkin' Donuts successfully expand its market network in Indonesia and open more than 200 stores which spread in various major cities of Indonesia, such as Jakarta, Tangerang, Bogor, Bekasi, Depok, Surabaya, Bandung, Bali, Medan, Yogyakarta, Makassar, etc (Dunkin’ Donuts Indonesia, 2014). Meeting the challenges from multinational and local competitor who dominate donut market in Indonesia such as J.Co Donuts and evolving coffee shop business sector is not easy. According to coffee consultant, Adi Taroepratjeka, the increasing standard of coffee drinking in the community is one of the causes of the increasing number of coffee shops in Indonesia. Starting from just hanging out and looking for a free internet network in the coffee shop, but now the coffee itself is also favored by teenagers to adulthood (Kharina Trianand, 2014). Data from the International Coffee Organization (ICO) two years ago noted that the average growth of coffee consumption in Indonesia was two percent 1 higher than the growth in the world. If the world grows four percent in 2012, it turns out that growth in Indonesia reaches six percent (Kharina Trianand, 2014). Table 1.1 Table of Growth of Coffee Consumption in Indonesia and All Exporting Countries Survey of Growth in Growth in Growth in 2012 2013 2014-2018 Domestic consumption by 6.35 % 6.84 % 8.47 % Indonesia Domestic consumption by all 3.11 % 1.47 % 6.85 % exporting countries Source: International Coffee Organization, 2011.

The influx of foreign-branded restaurants coupled with the growing affluence of Filipino consumers has also contributed to the growth of the HRI sector. This growth in the foodservice industry provides greater opportunities for exports of U.S. food and beverage products to the Philippines. Post: Manila I.

A mature market with growing demand for U.S. consumer-oriented products, the United States remains the Philippines’ largest supplier for food, beverage and ingredient products. Ranked as the 13th largest export market for U.S. high-value, consumer-oriented products, the Philippines imported $569.8 million from January through August 2016.

  • PE & QSR: Ambition on a Bun Asian Venture Capital Journal | 06
    PE & QSR: Ambition on a bun Asian Venture Capital Journal | 06 November 2019 Many private equity investors think they can make a fast buck from fast dining, but rolling out a Western-style brand in Asia requires discipline on valuation and competence in execution Gondola Group was among the last remaining assets in Cinven’s fourth fund, and as one LP tells it, exit prospects were uncertain. The portfolio company’s primary business was PizzaExpress, which had 437 outlets in the UK and a further 68 internationally as of June 2014. Expansion in China by the brand’s Hong Kong-based franchise partner had been measured, with about a dozen restaurants apiece in Hong Kong and the mainland. Cinven wasn’t willing to be so patient. In May 2014, Gondola opened a directly owned outlet in Beijing – as a showcase of what the brand might achieve in China when backed by enough capital and ambition. Two months after that, PizzaExpress was sold to China’s Hony Capital for around $1.5 billion. By the start of the following year, Cinven had offloaded the remaining Gondola assets and generated a 2.4x return for its investors. The LP was “pleasantly surprised” by the outcome. Hony’s experience with the restaurant chain hasn’t be as fulfilling. Adverse commercial conditions in the UK – still home to 480 of its approximately 620 outlets – has eaten into margins and left PizzaExpress potentially unable to sustain an already highly leveraged capital structure. Hony is considering restructuring options for a GBP1.1 billion ($1.4 billion) debt pile.
