 The number of Çiğköfte shops is increasing day by day, but the companies operating the dealership of the Çiğköftem brand, which has been doing the job well for many years, can easily achieve their targeted income when they take into account the recommendations of the headquarters in strategic and operational planning.

 Çiğköftem is a brand that dates back to 1993 and established the raw meatball industry. Çiğköftem, the franchise brand of Em Group Gıda, which started its commercial activities by producing raw meatballs for hypermarkets in 1993, is the Turkish brand with the most branches abroad in the restaurant chain field. Becoming a Çiğköftem franchise means starting out with a brand that determines the rules of the raw meatball industry in 8 different countries around the world and doing business with a vision that covers the whole world in future planning. Çiğköftem, the first brand to launch the franchising system in the raw meatball industry, introduced raw meatballs to Europe by opening its first branch in Belgium in 2009.

 Shopping malls are important points with a lot of human traffic. Since consumers come to shopping malls with the motivation to spend money, the sales potential is high at these points. Since raw meatballs are both a healthy and affordable product, investors who embrace providing quality service have the opportunity to earn high income in shopping malls. Çiğköftem, the Çiğköfte brand with the most branches in shopping malls in Turkey, has become a popular choice for investors thanks to its many years of experience.

 Due to the minimum ideal size required for equipment and hosting customers, the shop should be around 30 m2, and care should be taken to have a front facade of around 3 meters so that consumers can easily see the products and the shop is eye-catching. Another important criterion is that the shop is located in areas with high pedestrian traffic.

 The investment return period of Çiğköftem franchise is 4-5 times shorter than the general average in the field of food and beverage management. Average is 1 year.
