Operating a fast food outlet can be exciting and exacting at the same time.
But Country Chicken & Pizza Express Franchisee in Papatoetoe (563 Great South Road) Hanif Patel believes that hard work will always provide rewards.
He was not wrong. Since he started in December 2010, he has had no time to look back. Business has grown steadily with satisfied customers returning to the store for its ambiance, service and of course quality food.
“I often hear customers saying, ‘Once you have tried, you will love it.’ It is such comments that encourage us to seek improvements all the time,” he said.
Mr Patel is confident that his store will continue to grow and attract more clientele.
“The location is great, with a clean and hygienic environment. There is plenty of space for car park. In addition, customers have the advantage of Gasoline station Alley Station within the complex,” he said.
“As your car gets filled, you could have a taste of the best fried chicken, which is less greasy than other products. All our products are Halal certified.”
According to Mr Patel, the store uses lean meat to prepare healthy kebab meals such as rice on lamb, chicken and mixed falafel with salad.
“Customers also have the choice of Indian curries, Turkish delights, Pita bread, vegetarian falafel, mild spices and Middle Eastern sweets. We also offer New Zealand kebabs,” he said.
Country Chicken & Pizza Express Papatoetoe is open seven days a week from 1030 am to 1130 pm, while the Gasoline Alley Station is open from 6 am to 1130 pm.
