Transcript of Why Choose Crust Our customers - eBrochures · 2015-04-24 · Marketing Contribution Franchisees...
Crust is known as the brand that makes pizza
more interesting.
It’s not just the finest ingredients we use, but
the way we combine them to create unique
combinations that are adventures in flavour.
We make our pizza the authentic way, relying
on instinct and measuring by hand rather than
following a strict formula. We continue to lead
the way with our delicious, innovative menu.
Our ‘boutique’ style extends beyond our
menu, all the way through to a customer’s
experience in a Crust store. While there are
commonalities in store design, we endeavour
to keep the boutique, local pizzeria feel to our
store design and customer experience.
These are just some of the ways we are streets
apart from our competitors.
What’s in a Brand?
When buying your own business the thing to
look for is a USP or unique selling point. At
Crust that’s exactly what we offer, something
you won’t find anywhere else as both a
consumer or a Franchisee.
There’s your boring old, standard pizzas and
then there’s ‘A Crust Above’. We pride ourselves
on our constant innovation, unique flavours
and our ability to push the boundaries.
Why Choose Crust Our customers
We’re very serious about choosing the right people to build our brand. If you’ve got the passion,
determination and courage needed to run a successful business, we’d love to hear from you.
Here’s a guide to the quality of Franchisee we’re looking for:
• Entrepreneurial and with an appetite for
success
• Business minded with great people skills
and financial acumen
• Willing to commit fully to a new business
venture
• Keen to actively promote and market your
Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar
• Willing to devote the necessary time and
effort
• Financially secure
• Willing to take advice and direction to
achieve the Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar vision
Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar is ideally suited to today’s fast-paced lifestyle. Our vision is to grow slowly
and surely, to build a solid foundation based on excellence in service, which will ensure we continue
to thrive for years to come.
When we ask our Franchisees what the best
thing about owning a Crust franchise is, the
top answer is invariably ‘lifestyle’.
Owning your own business means that you
have flexibility to meet the needs of your
family, or your own social life and interests.
Our Franchisees still get to enjoy sports and
hobbies they love.
Being a Crust owner also means that you
can recruit your own staff to fit in around the
hours you devote to the business. In a nutshell
it means that you can make time for the other
things in life you are passionate about.

Your Crust Franchise Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked QuestionsQ: How much does a Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar cost?
A: Equipment and set-up costs will vary from site to site. Our classically simple décor and streamlined operation makes the outlay uncomplicated and cost effective. As a guide, a franchise – from initial set-up to being fully operational – will cost between $375,000 and $450,000 excluding GST, including the initial franchise fee.
Q: What about financing a Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar?
A: The benefits of becoming a Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar Franchisee are that as a successful business, most lenders see Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar as a sound commercial and business model. We have access to several competitive lenders you can talk to.
Q: Where can I open a Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar?
A: We are eager to open franchises in every capital city of Australia and we are growing fast. If you feel you have the right location, please call us.
Q: Can I own more than one Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar?
A: Yes. Many of our Franchisees are multi-unit operators. This is the greatest indicator that there is a strong degree of satisfaction among Franchisees.
Q: What operational support will Crust give me?
A: Crust provides ongoing support and training at all times. All new Franchisees undergo four weeks training at Head Office in QLD. Additional support includes marketing and advertising assistance and new product development. Our people are always available for queries and questions that need to be answered via email, telephone and after-hours emergency numbers.
Q: Does Crust have a strong Marketing Program?
A: Every franchise contributes to a marketing fund that is used to run programs that range from radio, direct mail and outdoor advertising to branded pop up stores at local events.
Q: What kind of experience would make me a qualified applicant?
A: Obviously, applicants who have managed people in the restaurant industry or the pizza delivery business are especially well prepared for the work required.
Retail managers, or those who have retail business experience, also have very useful skills. While such experience is helpful, it is not a requirement.
Most people in the restaurant business today came from totally unrelated fields without any intention of owning a restaurant.
Our extensive training program and the ongoing guidance from our management team prepares you adequately to manage and operate your own store.
Q: Do I have to personally manage my store?
A: Yes. We are an owner/operator franchise system. At least one partner has to maintain a 50 percent ownership in the operating company and must be involved full-time in day-to-day operations.
Q: How much can a Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar store earn?
A: The amount of money you may earn depends on many factors, including how well you manage your store and control variable costs, local marketing and advertising, the cost of your investment and other unique circumstances.
As a new Franchisee, it is important to have realistic expectations about the initial income you’ll be earning and to keep in mind that a gradual process of commitment and effort achieves ongoing success.
Q: How long does it take to open a Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar store?
A: On average, it will take 8-12 weeks from the time you sign the Franchise Contract and Lease to the time you open your doors. As with most worthwhile things, it takes a bit of time to find the right site and to organise all details with the local council and all other relevant entities.
