Question 2: How many square meters should a workplace be?
Based on our experience, we recommend a space of approximately 50 square meters to ensure smooth and efficient branch operations. This size allows for the proper arrangement of the following key areas:
-
Service counter area
-
Customer dining area
-
Preparation room (can be combined with storage)
-
Staff changing area or lockers
-
Restroom (toilet)
However, depending on the location, layout, and overall conditions of the premises, it is possible to operate in a space smaller than 50 square meters. The most important factor is to organize the essential operational areas efficiently within the available space.
For example, some smaller locations with well-designed counters operate without a separate preparation room or storage area by utilizing the space beneath the counter to store products and supplies.
From experience, a smaller dining area with consistent customer traffic is often more successful than a large but empty space.
Therefore, we recommend planning your layout wisely based on your location, space, and customer flow.
Question 3: Is there a requirement on how the workplace be should be?
We believe it is important for our branches to operate in a manner that meets the requirements of cleanliness, hygiene, and food safety. Therefore, we recommend that you consider the following when selecting and furnishing your workplace. These include:
1️⃣Cleanliness and food safety
-
It is important that the workplace is suitable for food production activities and has an environment that ensures cleanliness, hygiene, and food safety.
2️⃣ Ventilation
One of the most important aspects of a workplace is a good ventilation system. Having the ability to pull in exhaust ventilation to remove fumes and odors associated with food production can greatly affect the smooth running of operations.
Therefore, when choosing a job:
Is it possible to install a ventilation system?
It is recommended to check in advance whether there is a possibility of problems arising from food odors for nearby residents and organizations.
Also, the best solution is to have a professional ventilation and air conditioning engineer perform a capacity calculation of the ventilation and suction system. Please understand that people can create poor ventilation by arbitrarily installing long, bent pipes with little or no capacity, creating a bad environment with a lot of noise, heat, and odor, which negatively affects your profits and the health of your employees.
3️⃣Fire safety
Food production facilities often require a fire safety report from the Emergency Management Agency. Therefore, it is recommended to clarify whether the premises you choose can be issued a fire report before signing a lease.
In some cases, it is not possible to obtain a fire report in the premises below the apartment.
4️⃣Interior decoration
When choosing interior decoration materials, choosing materials that are durable, easy to clean, and washable is more suitable for operation.
And for the object you are interested in:

Question 4: How many meters away should it be from an existing operating location?
Based on our experience, when opening a new branch, it is advisable to maintain a certain distance from existing operating locations. This has a positive impact on operations and customer flow.
In urban areas:
We recommend approximately 300 meters along the same side/direction of the road, and about 150 meters on the opposite side.
In rural areas:
The distance can be determined more flexibly depending on the size of the town, population density, and customer flow in the market.
Therefore, when planning a new branch location, we recommend considering the positions of existing branches, surrounding conditions, and customer traffic before making a decision.
Question 5: Where can I get the equipment?

Question 12: Do you provide any additional services?
Our technologists and engineers can work with you to conduct research and advise on product development issues that you need.
Question 13: Will you deliver to the countryside area ?
Currently, deliveries to rural areas are not possible, and local customers are picking up their products from the factory using dedicated vehicles. Pick-up times can be flexible, not necessarily during business hours.
If you agree with us on a fixed point within our delivery route where you can receive and ship your goods, we can deliver the goods to that location. Please note that due to city traffic congestion, it is not possible to transport goods to long-distance locations where delivery vehicles may have to wait for a long time.
Question 14: How many branches can there be in a local area?
The number of branches in a local area is determined by factors such as the purchasing power of the provincial or soum center, population size, and zoning.
In the provincial center: Up to 2-3 branches can be opened
In large soums and settlements: 1-2 branches can be operated.
Also, if a local customer has not made a purchase within 60 days, the next person in that location can make the deal.

Question 21: What is meat made from?
Doner kebab is made with lamb and beef. We are now starting to make Greek Gyros with whole pork. But the burger meat is made with beef and lard.
Question 22: Since we are preparing your food, will you arrange permits such as workplace and fire safety approvals for us?
No. We are only responsible for providing instructions and advice on supplying the goods and products.
Question 23: We can also operate additional food services alongside your products, right?
Yes. However, it depends on the type of your operation and the conditions of the equipment. If you are making kebabs, there are some important things to consider. The meat of the kebabs that is grilled on the fire is still being grilled while your other dishes are being sold, and the loss of gas, electricity and meat will affect your profitability. It is more profitable to grill your kebabs as soon as possible and has a positive effect on the quality and taste of the product. Experience shows that people go to kebab places to eat kebabs. They do not often change their choice just because they go to other places with kebabs. However, kebabs and burgers can go together. We have introduced a method to kebab shops to grill double burgers without burning them. This is a good solution to save space and energy.
Question 24: Will you lease your equipment initially?
No.
Question 25: Is ventilation mandatory?
The following are the benefits of deciding on ventilation:
To remove smoke and fumes.
The working environment will be improved as it will not be too hot.

A healthy work environment keeps employees healthy, motivated, and positive, and allows you to interact with customers in a positive way, increasing your profits.

Question 26: Is it possible to have 1 worker?

Question 27: What is the profit margin?
The profit margin depends on your operating expenses and sales. For a doner kebab shop, a very good place with high sales is around 20%. But a burger shop is much more profitable.
Question 28: Can we set our own selling price?
Only you can set the selling price.
Question 29: How do I place my order?
Go to gfc.smartorder.mn and place your order.
Question 30: What time will the delivery arrive?
Question 31: Is there any equipment maintenance service?
Question 32: How stable are prices?
We strive to maintain stable product prices. We strive to maintain a stable pricing policy in order to ensure long-term reliable supply to our customers and partner organizations.
However, food production is subject to many factors, including raw material prices, transportation and logistics, market price increases, and inflation. For example, meat prices have increased by about 30% annually over the past 3 years. In this case, it is best for us to inform our customers in advance and adjust our prices accordingly for the stability of our business.
Question 33: When is the best time to open? Is there a right time?
Our cuisine is fast food, and based on our experience and research, the best time to open a branch is:
Spring is the season (March-April). At this time, people are more likely to go outside, the weather is warmer, and school and work holidays are back to normal, creating the conditions for a successful start to new industry activities.
However, during the winter months of November to February, sales in the entire industry drop by 30-50%. Therefore, it is better not to start in late autumn. The following factors affect this.
People are going out less because of the cold.
People are eating more soups and stews due to the cold weather.
Students and children often stay home to rest.
Most households reduce the amount of food they eat out by preparing meals
New Year, the Lunar New Year, and other holidays, as well as the need to save money, affect sales.
Therefore, it is recommended that the best time to open a new branch is spring.
Question 34: How do you choose a location to open a new fast food restaurant?
The most important factor in the success of a fast food restaurant is location. It is believed that 60–70% of the success of restaurants in the world directly depends on location. Location is determined by the following 5 main criteria:

In our experience, our customers' sales are directly related to customer behavior, weather, season, and location. In general:
It is common for 60% of total income to come in the evening. Young people usually buy a lot of fast food while going out to party.
Things to note
View the city's general plan. You can avoid potential financial risks by checking ahead to see if there are any planned road closures, expansions, water and heating line upgrades, etc. near your location.
