Wok2go is a food franchise formed on the ideas and expectations of many people. From creator, to franchisee, through to our customers the people involved with wok2go all share a common desire to see high quality, healthy Oriental fast food made available to UK consumers.
The Creator
Chef and entrepreneur George Leung created the wok2go restaurant franchise with one simple idea; to provide high quality and healthy fast food in a way that is unique to the UK takeaway market. With a lifetime of experience in Chinese cooking, George has been successfully running his own gourmet restaurant in Cheshire. He is also well known for creating popular brands of dishes and sauces that are sold in supermarkets throughout the country.
For his next enterprise George wanted to take the principles of high quality Oriental food present in his existing business and apply them to a marketplace where these are often lacking.
The Franchise Owners
wok2go is a franchise that can be mastered and managed by all. Our franchise owners are not necessarily experienced in retail and may not have previous experience of running a franchise. What all our franchisees have in common is a commitment to providing to our customers tasty healthy food with a potential for even healthier profits.
All of our franchisees are given all the help and support needed to run a successful and rewarding business. By attending the initial intensive training course, lasting up to 8 weeks, our franchise owners are soon able to produce the full range of dishes on the wok2go menu. From then on wok2go staff are on hand to provide advice on every aspect of operating the restaurant.
The Customer
Our customers come from a diverse group and the wok2go menu has been shown to have wide ranging appeal. Designed specifically to cater to the needs of an increasingly health conscious British public, wok2go is popular with teenagers and families alike. Compared to any other fast food takeaway, or indeed, to any supermarket ready meal, our customers vote with their feet and choose above all to go for a Chinese takeaway that they know will provide fresh, healthy food at a reasonable price.

Why buy a wok2go Franchise
Good news for anyone considering investing in a business franchise in 2009. Despite the UK’s current economic problems the prospects for obtaining funding for franchise investments still appear to be positive.
Despite uncertainties and reports of a slowdown in the nation’s economy franchising in the UK has been shown to be going from strength to strength.
Research has indicated that a majority of people in the UK prefer to buy goods and services from franchised businesses.
When questioned a significant percentage of individuals stated that if given a choice between buying from a franchise or from a non-franchise business they would choose to buy the franchised brand.
The results of a latest survey have shown that UK entrepreneurs are increasingly opting for franchising when looking for new business opportunities.
In the last ten years the franchising industry has shown consistent growth and is now undoubtedly a significant part of the UK economy. In the last year the estimated economic contribution of franchises increased from £7 billion to £12.4 billion.
A recent survey carried out by NatWest has revealed that for a significant percentage of franchisees a major reason for buying a franchise is the advantage of being part of a ‘well known and established brand’.
The results should come as no surprise as it has long been established that business franchising has many brand related benefits. These advantages are commonly shared between franchise owners and franchisees.
