The Client
Smoke & Pepper was developed from a busy family kitchen having a desire to serve the highest quality comfort food being affordable to all. The new burger joint has now turned into a raved-about restaurant in the heart of Leyton due to their passion for food and creative cooking. The success thereon followed when they opened in Leyton in 2022 and now onto their newly curated hybrid of a takeaway-meets-restaurant feels, within the popular Bow arches for 2024.
Challenge
Smoke and Pepper started their franchising journey and found they were stumped when it came to working out what criteria to use for their territories and how to judge the opportunity across the UK for their network. After a recommendation from their consultant working with them on the franchise development, we came in to work our analysis and mapping magic.
Solution
Our first task, as always, was to gather as much trade data as possible. This meant looking at the order data from the aggregators used by the company. It provided a realistic starting point for discussions and data to help make a more educated and informed decision to create a network giving the brand longevity.
We created analysis areas around the existing venues and investigated the delivery areas with Smoke and Pepper to view the target customer numbers in each. This helps us to work out how many potential customers a future venue needs to achieve the targeted turnover.
Results
We have mapped out a network of areas where each can sustain at least one store/restaurant, and head office can decide which areas to franchise or keep company operated.
With detailed demographics and data of these areas, it gives them the confidence and visibility to have informed conversations with their potential franchisees.
The areas we created, as always, take into account the serviceability of the area to make sure that their customers can travel to them.
