About Humpty's

Humpty’s Restaurants International Inc. (HRII) has developed restaurant concepts and operating systems that require lower levels of franchisee experience, fewer menu changes and less refurbishment to be profitable and competitive. We provide comprehensive training, support, restaurant operations, purchasing and marketing systems to minimize franchisee risk. We place a great deal of importance on system-wide procedures and operating standards to ensure store-level food service, food quality and operating efficiencies are maintained and continually improving.

One of the main mandates of HRII is to develop restaurant concepts that do not rely on abnormal economic conditions, specialized operating skills, narrow market niches and/or culinary trends to be viable. Humpty’s have developed an operating system that allows the Company to implement and control standardized product purchasing, staff/franchisee training, restaurant operations, system-wide marketing and in-store/area management infrastructures and systems. Our objective is to place franchises in low-density/high traffic, outer-metro urban, small urban and rural market centres with high concentrations of lower to middle income families and business travelers.

About Applejack's

As an effective business operator, you wish to minimize risk and maximize profit. That is exactly what successful franchising is all about. Franchised businesses have a higher success rate than independent businesses. This is a fact. It is generally accepted that an estimated 40% of all non-franchised businesses do not make it to the end of their first year of operation, and 80% will fail within their first five years of operation. And even the 20% that do manage to survive are not safe, as 90% of them will fail within the next five years. In most cases this is not due to lack of revenues and its mostly based on lack of experience, support and management skills. By joining a Franchise, franchisees can benefit from the Brand marketing, purchasing power and management expertise offered by well-established franchisors. This is particularly attractive to those persons entering the highly competitive food service industry for the first time. As a result of the positive interaction between franchisee and franchisor, our restaurant owner/operators are much more likely to be financially successful than were they to enter the industry as independent restaurateurs.
