Who We Are

Harper’s British Classics was founded in 2001 as a quick service restaurant chain, serving classic British dishes, such as full English breakfasts, stews and pies. After starting as a family business, they have expanded across the country as a franchise, and stand out against a competitive market with many other food chains, by offering alternatives to typical fast food–style dishes.

The brand is trusted and popular across a wide range of demographics, from tourists to senior citizens, and has an established track record. For franchisees looking for an opportunity in the food sector, this can be a great option.

Why Choose a Harper’s British Classics Franchise

We stick to what we know best and what we know sells namely traditional, appealing British fare.

The Harper’s branding has strong consumer appeal.

Our business model is established in multiple sites proving that our menu appeals nationally.

As a Harper’s franchisees you have the advantage of a ‘whole day’ market from our delicious breakfasts through lunch to evening meals thus maximising your earning potential.
We have an established and trusted supply chain for our produce.
Being part of the Harper’s brand will allow you to benefit from our purchasing power thus keeping your pricing competitive and margins high (on average 70%-72% gross margin).
An anticipated annual ROI of around 20% (based on our existing outlets).
Our business model is based on a ‘counter service’ thus reducing your need for staff and lowering your overheads.
Quick service + quality produce + casual atmosphere = happy guest = more guests = increased profits for you!
Finally, and we think crucially, we are a family owned business and we care about our food, our guests and our franchisees.

The Harper’s Offer

It is a bit of a cliché within franchising to say that “we will only succeed if you succeed”however it only became a cliché because it is true. That being the case we are very particular about whom we will grant our franchises to and we are 100% committed to helping them to create a successful brand and as a result increase our network of restaurants.

Our initial and ongoing support is extensive and will encompass all of the following;

R
We will start by giving you a clear definition of the criteria that we look for in a restaurant to include size, layout and location.
R
Based on our criteria, we will work with you in order to find a suitable site and using our experience of ‘what works’will assess the site’s viability and approve the location as suitable for your restaurant.
R
We will draw up a preliminary layout for the restaurant from which your design team can finalise a detailed plan and obtain any change of use certificates, planning permissions, building warrants, completion certificates and comply with all the Health & Safety legislation.

What we at Harper’s are looking for

You will have realised by now that the Harper’s brand is very important to us and therefore we are very careful in our choice of franchise partners. We may well be working together over the next ten years or even longer so it is important for both us and you to ensure that we get the ‘fit’ right.
Whilst we will carefully consider all applications to own a Harper’s outlet we have a clear vision of the criteria that we will look for in both the location of our Harper’s restaurants as well as in our prospective franchisees.

Although we are happy to consider individuals who only wish to open one restaurant, we are particularly interested in those people whose ambition extends to operating across multiple sites and owning a substantial number of Harper’s outlets.
