Here’s a look at what’s new in 2009.

What’s New in 2009

With an expanded portfolio of product offerings, QSR now pro-vides even more options for advertisers to deliver strategic marketing messages across mul-tiple media. that makes QSR an even smarter partner in 2009.

According to the national restaurant Association’s 2008 restaurant Industry Forecast, restaurant industry sales are forecast to reach a record of $558 billion in 2008. this represents an increase of 4.4 percent over 2007. the limited-service segment is the largest and fastest growing with annual sales currently projected to top $204 billion*.

In addition, limited-service restaurants generally out-perform other segments regardless of swings in the U.S. economy. In fact, when the economy tightens up, consumers often trade down from more expensive casual restaurants to less expensive limited-service restaurants. It costs less for a family of four to dine at Panera or Subway than at Outback or chili’s. As such, limited-service restaurants generally thrive during questionable economic times. And with so many fast-casual concepts offering fresh, flavorful food at moder-ate price points, budget-conscious consumers have a plethora of limited-service restaurant choices.

that’s why savvy foodservice marketers are allocat-ing a larger portion of their marketing budgets toward targeting this powerful segment. the bottom line: Limited-service restaurants have more money to spend on your products and services.

* includes limited-service (i.e., quick-service, fast-casual), snack, and retail host restaurants

And not just limited-service. QSR readers make purchase decisions for all types of restaurant formats.

not surprisingly, QSR delivers more limited-ser-vice restaurant decision-makers than any other media property. However, restaurateurs generally own/oper-ate a variety of restaurant concepts, and QSR subscrib-ers are no exception. Based on QSR ’s 2008 subscriber profile study, QSR subscribers each operate an aver-age of two different restaurant formats.

100% offer Limited-Service formats including: •Quick-Service - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 67%Fast-casual - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36%Snack/Beverage/convenience/ -concession . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16%

this means the marketing messages you run in QSR are reaching decision-makers who are making large purchases for a variety of restaurant formats—not just your core fast-casual and quick-service targets, but also casual and even fine dining. consider that a nice added value!

Since its inception QSR has understood that fast-casual is part of the limited-service restaurant industry. the fast-casual movement represents an evolution of quick-service, as consumers have shown a desire for upscaled menus and décor in a limited-service format. QSR has covered this evolving segment from its pre-mier issue onward, and it is a vital part of our editorial focus. However, QSR also offers targeted products for marketers who just want to reach the fast-casual seg-ment of the limited-service market.

Fast-Casual PortalAs an important part of the limited-service segment of foodservice, fast-casual has increasingly become a desired vertical target for foodservice vendors. For those marketers with budgets isolated just for the fast-casual portion of limited-service, QSR drills down into our readership and provides you with a targeted solution for reaching your key fast-casual customers

and prospects. While fast-casual coverage is found throughout QSrmagazine.com, we have devoted a special area on our web site to news and features that deal solely with fast-casual. this gives you the targeted approach you need to reach the operators you want.

Sponsorship of the Fast-casual Portal is available for 6- and 12-month periods. Microsite sponsorship rates apply. Benefits of sponsorship include:

Leaderboard and foundation banners •Up to 300 words of customized promotional copy •exclusivity for sponsorship period •

AS ERIC NEWMAN, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF development for Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits, likes to point out, various outlets that rank franchise opportunities often identify Bojangles’ as a top choice—not just in food but in franchising in general. The Wall Street Journal named it one of the top 25 franchises across all industries, and it was Entrepreneur’s top choice in the chicken segment in 2007.

What is it about this iconic Southern brand that attracts such attention?

Newman ticks off a list of attributes, starting with daypart coverage. “We have breakfast, lunch, and dinner,” he says, “and we also have the capac-ity for major takeaway business across all three dayparts.”

Of course, what brings customers in during those dayparts is the food, from biscuits to chicken to a wide variety of side items with made-from-scratch flair. “We have uniqueness,” says Newman. “When you’re hungry for Bojangles’, you’re hun-gry for Bojangles’, and nothing else will do.” This makes for tremendous customer loyalty.

Another positive attribute is that Bojangles’ enjoys a certain amount of insulation during tougher economic times. “When people are more careful with their money,” Newman notes, “Bojan-gles’ tends to strengthen. People trade down, but

they still want to eat out, and they don’t want to go to a burger chain for an evening meal. We’re categorized properly as quick-service, but that’s category-speak. In reality, we’re positioned between quick-service and fast-casual.”

Bojangles’ also boasts impressive financials. In 2007, sales at full-size franchised locations averaged more than $1.7 million. More than 10 of them went over $3 million, and one hit nearly $3.7 million. The company just completed its 54th consecutive month of same-store sales increases, and Newman says they haven’t seen the top yet.

Bojangles’ is actively franchising in a num-ber of markets, with space currently available in Florida, south Georgia, central and western Ten-nessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The first focus is the Southeast, but the brand is also pushing north, with the eastern seaboard from DC to New York being wide open. “We’re also open to other things if the right people come along,” notes Newman.

Like most franchisors, Bojangles’ looks for restaurant experience in potential franchisees. “It’s most helpful if people in the investment group have operational focus, because Bojangles’ is about the food and the operational delivery,” says Newman. “Many of our newer franchisees are already major

franchisees in other systems.”In terms of franchisee support, Newman points

out that Bojangles’ was recently acquired, and the new owners are focused on infrastructure and operational support. This is borne out by increases in the number of field reps, new building designs, a new vice president of real estate who is reviewing markets and supporting franchisees with deals, and beefed-up training programs.

Newman adds that new franchisees praise Bojangles’ for its operational focus. “They draw a clear distinction between Bojangles’ and those brands that only own one or two restaurants and franchise everything else,” he says. “We oper-ate 150 of our own restaurants, and the direc-tion and support we provide our franchisees usually helps them run the restaurants more effectively.

“I’ve been doing this 23 years,” Newman says, “and timing is everything. There are great times to join certain concepts, and there are times when you probably don’t want to come in. Bojangles’ is really hitting a great point in its cycle.”

More than 10 of Bojangles’ franchised locations went over $3 million in sales in 2007.
