Operations |
Number of employees needed to run franchised unit: 25 Absentee ownership of franchise is NOT allowed. (100% of current franchisees are owner/operators) | The Franchisee does not have to personally operate the Chinese Mirch restaurants. However, there must be a full time Manager who has satisfactorily completed the training course provided by Chinese Mirch and is devoted to the operation of the restaurant. In addition, it is important to note that to a large part the success of a Chinese Mirch franchise depends on the entrepreneurial skills, attitude, and financial stability of the Franchisee. Therefore Chinese Mirch strongly recommends that Franchisees be actively involved on a day-to-day basis in their restaurant. In order to maintain our standards, certain purchases must be made from approved suppliers. |

When we opened the first Doc Chey's in 1997, our goal was simple: operate a neighborhood restaurant that serves our guests affordable, delicious, pan-Asian food.
Although we have been true to our original mission, we quickly learned that we had an even greater mission, and that was to improve the communities we serve. We did this by becoming stakeholders in our neighborhoods and fostering good karma in our communities through various initiatives - dine-outs that support local schools and charitable organization, donations to local organizations for fundraising events, and hosting charitable events like Morningside Mile and Breakfast with Santa.
Through our efforts, we have donated over $200,000 in cash and food to local schools and non-profit organizations. We work hard to live our values everyday - treat others as we wish to be treated and give without expecting anything in return.
We will continue to work hard every day to help make our communities better places to live - one noodle bowl at a time.
