BARCELOS - Flame Grilled Chicken
With global trends dictating a fast lane approach in so many spheres of our lives including our food choices and eating habits, and with little time set aside for enjoying our good, “old fashioned“ traditions and ideals Barcelos attempts to address this imbalance
with their traditional, healthy home-style fare. Created in South Africa in 1993, Barcelos quick service restaurants is an exciting
concept specialising in traditional and authentically prepared Portuguese flame grilled chicken. Barcelos’ instant popularity is
testament to it is ability to satisfy the palates of both young and old across the various cultures of our rainbow nation.
Barcelos has since expanded its reach beyond South Africa’s borders into Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada, Dubai and most recently Mauritius. On a cornerstone of sound business principles, Barcelos has created an exciting brand that continues to reach new boundaries for all in the Barcelos family to enjoy.
THE CONCEPT UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
Barcelos’ speciality is authentically prepared flame grilled chicken, served in a picturesque settingreminiscent of its Portuguese heritage. Outlets are designed and presented in a manner that allows the customer visual contact with the food preparation area. Barcelos outlets utilise the latest, most efficient catering equipment in the production line and the processing of orders through the kitchen is eased by the application of effective software. To cater for their Muslim patrons a large percentage of Barcelos stores have been Halaal certified.
The Barcelos menu is designed to cater for patrons in search of a quick take-away meal as well as those wanting to enjoy a full family
dinner in the restaurant. To accommodate every palate from the conservative to the wildly adventurous, all meals are available
in either Tangy Lemon, Mild Peri, Veri Peri and Supa Peri flavour options. Barcelos also produce their own range of signature sauces,
marinades and fruit juices available for purchase at all Barcelos outlets.
Barcelos customers are drawn from all walks of life and across all income groups. Location is a prime consideration in the establishment of a Barcelos franchise with preference given to high visibility locations accommodating shop fronts that open the full width of the store. Other considerations of particular importance are foot traffic counts and accessibility. A typical Barcelos restaurant outlet will
employ between eight and 12 staff, while a take-away outlet will create between five and eight employment opportunities.
CONSIDER YOUR SUPPORT
With a company culture that demands uncompromisingly high service levels, the Barcelos team prides itself in rendering support beyond expectation. Operators benefit from administration support, operations and food quality support, staff re-training programs, advertising campaigns and ongoing courtesy visits conducted by head office staff. At every turn, operators will find a dedicated and experienced member of the Barcelos team ready to offer support. Store management and staff are subjected to vigorous training at the Barcelos Training
Academy situated in Centurion, Gauteng. Ongoing training, also provided by the Training Academy, ensures that service delivery standards are maintained. Barcelos employs the bulk buying power
of the group to secure best pricing and core products, procured on behalf of franchisees and distributed to outlets via the Barcelos
logistical network on a regular basis.
DO YOU FIT THE PROFILE?
Barcelos strongly advocates the owner operated franchise outlets with franchisees willing to abide by the national operating standards prescribed by the franchisor. The ideal Barcelos franchisee is a service orientated individual who believes in a proactive approach.
