The Ingredients for Success
The food is the reason why Bucking Bull is the retail carvery franchise to pair with. From the moment it opened its doors in 1999, it served its unique brand of slow-cooked roasts with strict taste and quality standards. That’s how it grew its reputation as the Roast Experts with nearly 40 stores throughout Australia.
Bucking Bull’s star of the show is its signature roasts, done the traditional, old-fashioned way. Tender and slow-cooked for 12 hours, Bucking Bull’s roasts are reminiscent of how mum made them for Sunday roast.
The familiarity of a good roast evokes nostalgia for family meals around a laden table. Bucking Bull makes this delicious, evocative fare ‘today’ again by bringing artisan flavours in, and that makes it one of the most marketable retail foods out there. Building a carefully crafted menu of meals, sandwiches, rolls and burgers around their showpiece roasts shows that they really know the ingredients for success.
The Company with the Recipe for Success
2o years of expert tweaking has developed the Bucking Bull retail carvery franchise into a recipe for success, and this dedication is applied to every new franchise partnership that takes a bite of the business. How does Bucking Bull support its ‘sous chefs’ (franchisees)?
Advanced Systems
A key point in Bucking Bull’s business successful arsenal is its parent company Aktiv Brands’ AKTIVPOS Point of Sale system, which shows franchisees key information about their business at all times. Another reason the Bucking Bull retail carvery franchises continue to grow is the INTRANET that easily links franchise owners to the company’s training, operational information, marketing and ordering systems – everything is right at hand. Add all this to the fact that every branch of the company diligently follows its Best Practice Program, and you get a great franchise model with solid systems in place.
The ‘Feel-Good’ Brand
The ‘feel-good’ vibe of Bucking Bull is well-known around Australia – when Australians think roast, they think of Bucking Bull. People know that when they go to the Roast Experts, they’ll get delicious comfort food that gives them a kick of feel-good nostalgia and they keep coming back for more.
In-store, the ‘feel-good’ vibe is maximised by the ‘visible theatre’ of watching expert roasters and carvers ‘perform’ and then having their creations presented appealingly on a plate. Customers also feel good knowing that they are supporting Australia’s own farmers … the roast is 100% home-grown.
Supportive Training
Bucking Bull has been recognised as one of the best franchising partners in Australia, with accolades including #9 in the ‘Top Franchise Awards’ in 2012. This is thanks to its comprehensive training and ongoing support in all areas of the business including sales techniques, national and local marketing, financial management, store development and operations. Franchise partners are also given trade secrets to maximise growth in exclusive workshops and seminars.
As soon as a new franchise owner is invited into the Bucking Bull ‘kitchens’ the ‘head chefs’ (management team) begin to collaborate with them. Everyone from ‘novice chefs’ (new franchisees) with minimum or no training in food services or franchise operations to ‘seasoned chefs’ (experienced business people) are treated to extensive onboarding training in Bucking Bull’s successful business model and best practises.
The support doesn’t stop there, however. The franchisee will continue to receive guidance in every aspect of the business, including operations, marketing, purchasing, human resources, IT, construction, finance and culinary, anytime they need it. With this extraordinary support system and ongoing coaching programs, the ‘novice chef’ will soon become a ‘master chef’ themselves.
