Recipe for success in fast food

Poe Poe's core concept revolves around utilizing top-notch, fresh ingredients to prepare products directly in front of the customer. The franchise takes pride in offering these fresh products at remarkably competitive prices, setting it apart in the fast-food industry.

According to franchise manager – Martin Kovářík – "The philosophy of the concept is anchored in high turnover, quality products, and a clean, modern environment. The combination of high turnover and minimal supplier prices for the entire network makes the Poe concept a highly lucrative business".

The operational structure encompasses two distinctive sales points:

• Savory Bar: Featuring pizza, Poe rolls, lasagna, and hot dogs.
• Sweet Bar: Showcasing French pancakes, waffles, coffee, smoothies, and a fresh bar.

The entire concept is built upon in-house production, leveraging state-of-the-art global fast-food technology. Kovářík emphasizes the integration of Poe Poe's extensive industry experience, minimizing manual labor to ensure consistent product quality independent of human factors.

Poe Poe Concept distinguishes itself in the fast-food industry by offering a unique menu that includes gluten-free and vegan options. Kovářík emphasized – „Commitment to diversity in tastes and dietary preferences sets us apart from the competition.  Additionally, our unique recipe for vegan pancakes further exemplifies our dedication to providing distinctive and inclusive culinary choice.”.

Basic requirements for prospective franchisees

According to the insights provided by Martin Kovářík, the franchise offers entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to join the Poe family, with a particular focus on financial considerations.
