In certain historical refranchising transactions the company may have retained ownership of land and building and continues to lease them to the franchisee. Store level franchise agreement typically require payment to the company of certain upfront fees such as initial fees paid upon opening of a stores, fees paid to renew the term of the franchise agreement and fees paid in the event the franchise agreement is transferred to another franchisee. Franchisee also play monthly continuing fees based on a percentage of their restaurants sales (typically 4%-6%) and are required to spend a certain amount to advertise and promote the brand. Under master franchise agreements, the company enters into agreements that allow master franchisees to operate restaurants as well as sub-franchise restaurants within certain geographic territories. Master franchisees are typically responsible for overseeing development within their territories and performing certain other administrative duties with regard to the oversight of sub-franchisees. In exchange, master franchisees retain a percentage of fees payable by the sub-franchisees under their franchise agreements and typically pay lower fees for the restaurants they operate.

Taco Bell announced that company run stores, franchises and licensed stores will hire at least 30,000 employees this summer. It will hire for existing positions at all levels in the restaurant, in addition to new roles responsible for monitoring the drive-thru, managing delivery, curbside pick-up, and the mobile app and maintaining proper sanitation.

KFC unveiled its new “next generation prototype” concept that prioritizes a digital forward experience. Here are some highlights on it:
1)Modern visuals that reflects KFC’s identity: The exterior of the new model offers a modern take on the KFC signature red and white stripes. It also features a brightly lit red bucket that directs customers to the new digital cubby system for online and pick-up.
2) Digital single entry point cubby system for mobile and delivery orders: KFC said these will create less contact between employees and customers as the order is delivered directly from the kitchen to the cubbies for ease of operation. It’s akin to pickup selves, in terms of how to erases the handoff process. Delivery drivers as well as guests will access the future.
3) Curbside delivery with dedicated parking spots for customers: Guest who order in advance on KFC’s site or through a delivery partner can show up and wait outside.
4) Defined parking and signage for delivery drivers to swiftly collect online orders: KFC recently expanded delivery partnership with DoorDash, UberEats and Postmates. So clearly, it does not expect third party delivery to fizzle out anytime soon.
5) Self-service kiosks available in-restaurant for quick service: This will help customer personalization at the order point and drive higher checks.
One of the locations, or an express store doesn’t feature a dining room and is roughly 1,800 square feet. Generally, KFC is looking at 1,800 or so square feet locations with outdoor seating and smaller dinning rooms, with added options for off-premises business.
Taco Bell’s New “Go Mobile” Concept:
The Go Mobile concept is designed to create a seamless and digitally integrated customer experience. Slated to open in Q1 of 2021, it features five main updates built around digital adoption:
1)Minimization: Like many chains in today’s pandemic climate, Taco Bell is shrinking its footprint to improve ROI and let digital transaction do the heavy lifting. The Go Mobile store is just 1,325 square feet compared to the 2,500 square feet typical Taco Bell boxes average.
2) Dual Drive-thru: Given the small footprint and reliance on mobile ordering, Taco Bell plans to double the lanes with a new priority pick-up option for consumers who order via the app. The new lane will supplement the existing, traditional lane. A better digital and drive-thru experience with additional access point.
3) Synchronized digital experience: Taco Bell is fitting the unit with “smart kitchen” technology integrated with its app. Namely, the Go Mobile restaurant can detect when guests arrive and suggest route for a seamless experience.
4) Curbside pickup: Taco Bell Go Mobile visitors will also have the option to receive their order via contactless curbside pickup.
5) Bellhops: Go Mobile units will roll a feature that’s quickly gaining prominence throughout quick service. In an effort to streamline the ordering experience, the store will include tablets in drive-thru lines and curbside pickup, both of which will be handled by concierge service of employees, termed bellhops. The Taco Bell Go Mobile restaurant concept is not only an evolved physical footprints, but a completely synchronized digital experience centered around streamlining guest access points. For the first time, its guest will have the ability to choose the pick-up experience that best fits their needs, all while never leaving the comfort of their cars.
