his customers ultimately leading to the creation of Schnitz.
Specialising in traditional, pan-cooked schnitzels, the menu
at Schnitz is dedicated to mixing the age-old culinary
tradition with a modern Australian twist.

With chicken, beef, pork and a new vegan schnitzel, Schnitz

What are the special franchisee strengths that make
Chili House unique from its competitors?

The greatest strength of Chili House is its exceptional


customer experience. When our 5-Star Hospitality process
is combined with our 5-Star food quality and freshness, it is
an experience that keeps consumers returning for more.
Add to that, our menu variety, which is executed with ease
through our streamlined kitchen processes, and you have a
“Recipe for Success.”

Fresh everything, and we mean, ”Everything”, from our “on


premises” prepared Fresh Cut Fries, Unique Cincinnati
Chili and Natural Angus Burgers, to our Onion Rings,
100% Chicken Breast Patty, and 100% Organic Fresh made
Salads and Dressings. All made with ease and prepped
once in the morning for that business day’s consumption.
Another strength or differentiating factor, is that Chili
House is a full service fast casual service style with real
china and silverware at a quick service menu price point.
This provides a wide range of advantages such as, no
waiting in lines, no opening of paper and plastic containers
in order to eat your meal and no carrying trays and loading
up on your own napkins, plastic forks, etc. Finally, Chili
House has a proto-type to fit any investor’s budget, and thus
allowing for quick brand entry and brand penetration into
any new market. Chili House provides 6 floor plans &
designs, from 2,500 square foot flagship free-standing units
with drive-thru all the way to 220 sq. foot kiosk designs.

Where does Chili House see itself in the long run and
what are its future goals?

Chili House will use the current franchise model to expand


its presence throughout the region and the world. We
currently have 9 locations in the pipe line for North Africa
and Europe, with a goal of being 100 stores strong in the
next 3 years. At the same time, our executive team will
continue to research the industry and adopt best practices
for maintaining such an aggressive growth strategy.
Through total quality driven management and
implementation, we will continue to succeed and grow
Chili House on a Global Scale.
