Franchise Description
Bar be cue — these are fighting words for -fanatics of that all-American pig-out food. Barbecue lovers from different regions of the country are passionate about the meats, sauces, cooking methods and side dishes that constitute the best ’cue.
At
Conway’s, we serve the best of all types of barbecue from across the South and Midwest, where barbecue is king. We smoke all of our meats fresh daily and serve them with a variety of from-scratch regional sauces and down-home dishes. Have a hankering for Texas-style ’cue, slow-cooked beef brisket with an aromatic smoke-n-fire dipping sauce? How about Memphis-style, tender pork shoulder topped with creamy slaw, all piled high on a bun? Or St. Louis-style pork ribs or chicken slathered in a thick, sweet tomato-based sauce, a favorite in Kansas City? Or cooked-till-it-falls-off-the-bone pork shoulder (Carolina-style), or ribs, smoldering and smoky with a vinegary or mustard-based sauce? Whatever sets your lips to smackin’, we have the best of all at
Conway’s.
Why should we choose Conway’s over other opportunities?
Conway’s was opened in Orlando, Florida in 1997. After many years of succesfull operation and continued growth in the most competitive restaurant market in the world, we developed a systematic business model by thinking outside our four walls!. Our belief is that too many restaurant operators fall victim to concepts that rely soley on revenues generated inside their establishments. Our franchise model represents several different profit centers in one location. When you visit one of our establishments you immediately become aware that there is something different going on. Our award winning BBQ is a given but how we get our wonderful products to the consumer in addition to inside our establishment is what seperates us from the others.

What kind of Franchise is available?
Typically, development agreements for 3–5 store exclusive territories are standard. Such contracts are individually negotiated for your territorial needs. Individual Franchises for single locations will be considered in selected areas.
What determines the number of stores in a development agreement and how much time is allowed to fulfill the schedule?
Conway’s stated philosophy is to provide ample territory to develop the number of stores an individual desires in a very generous time frame. The number of stores in a development agreement is determined by the market size desired. Typical time frames would include 8 months for the first store and up to 12 months for successive stores.
Does Conway’s help with site selection?
Yes. We are very much involved in site analysis with you. Whether a new facility or an existing restaurant, we work hand in hand with you to pick the best available.
Franchise Training and Support
Does Conway’s Offer Training and Support?
Franchisees, and their designated managers must attend and successfully complete the training program at our training restaurants in Florida or Pennsylvania. The cost of this initial training is included in your Franchise Fee. Franchisees pay their own costs of transportation, lodging and meals. At the successful completion of our training program you will receive a confidential Conway’s Operations Manual covering the many important facets of your restaurant operation. As the manuals are updated, revisions will be made available to you. You will receive periodic visits by our field representatives who will consult with you and offer useful advice and counsel on system elements such as quality control, service, identity, customer convenience, advertising, marketing, merchandise control, training, communication and incentives. Conway’s continuously communicates with all Franchisees to assure that your problems are solved expeditiously.
Do you offer a finance program?
No, but we have a list of potential lenders familiar with Conway's. It is then up to the applicant to qualify for the necessary financing for your land, building, and/or equipment package. Equipment financing is generally for a period of five to seven years at prevailing interest rates. We will also be available to assist you in lease negotiations with your landlord if you so desire.
Do I receive guidance on the purchase of foods and supplies?
Yes. High quality products are essential to our concept. Our Purchasing Department has established and will provide a full purchasing program and will supply you with a list of all our National Accounts that will enable you to order high quality products in sufficient volume at the lowest competitive prices.
