Enjoy The Experience Of A Dream Dinner
To some folks a dream dinner might be any decent food they can get for free. Dream Dinners is also a clever food franchise that’s growing fast. It’s all about people cooking under supervision according to planned menus. Yes, you’re probably saying “why didn’t I come up with that one”?
Americans are busier than ever before. Eating well at home is becoming more and more difficult . Even the terrific pre-made food available today in stores isn’t quite the same as home cooking. When the schedule is packed, however, will people give up their jobs or their self made meals? This franchise lives in that space.
The program works like this. People visit the location and then choose up to all– items on a provided menu. Number of servings determines cost of each meal. Then they cook it while still at the shop. Cooking experts supervise in either private or public cooking sessions. This is a lot like a chef at a restaurant coming out to direct the diners in preparing the food.
It sounds a lot more expensive that it really is. A– item menu costs about $3.50 per serving, with side dishes and extras like salads and potatoes purchased separately. The cost per serving with the sides is about $5. That’s a great deal for the food plus the cooking instruction.
These locations are franchises people own. And there’s been some controversy behind the franchise. It’s not the food or menus or preparation, but rather the franchisees. Some of the franchisees aren’t happy. Forbes magazine published a detailed account of Dream Dinners in early 2008. The story made the corporation look pretty bad. It expanded very quickly, attracting entrepreneurs with its unique concept. But it seems the business plan wasn’t strong, as many of these people found themselves unable to continue the business after a short time and a lot of investment. There may have been some misrepresentations made as to potential profits.
Let the franchisees and the company worry about the controversy, for the diner Dream Dinners is just what the chef ordered.
