PRESS
Kochlöffel has almost as long a history as Wienerwald. Founded in 1963 in Rheine (Emsland), this fast-food chain now has
100 branches. Along with chicken, the menu includes burgers (beef), sausages und salads. The main featured product,
however, is its half chicken, or which some 4 m portions are sold a year to around 13 m guests. Not even bird flu could make
much (permanent) effect here. “Yes, we did see sales of half chickens fall at the start of 2006”, admits franchise manager
Wolfgang Kaiser, “but sales more than recovered towards the end of the year.” 25 – 30 % of food sales are generated by this
crispy poultry product (€ 2,75 per portion, three halves for € 6,49), a further 10 – 15 % by processed chicken ingredients, such
as “Chicken Krossies”, so chicken burgers and chicken wings. Put it all together, and chicken of whatever kind accounts for
more than 40 % of food sales.
“People see us as a chicken specialist”, confirms Wolfgang Kaiser. “That is our core expertise and our classic product, and we
shall continue to rely on it in future.” When it comes to processed chicken specialities (which, incidentally, suffered no adverse
effects from bird flu, since the guest does not associate them directly with a bird) they are experimenting with new taste
profiles, such as piquant, or Asian.”
Around one third outlets are currently run by franchisees. Typical characteristics: an A1 site in medium-size towns or cities.
The restaurants have seating areas of between 70 and 100 sq m. A smaller type of outlet, 30 cq m and above, can be set up
in shopping centres and railway stations. Total sales for Germany in 2010 were € 43 m.
Kochlöffel has also been operating in neighbouring Poland since 1995. Its outlets – of which there are currently six – are called
conieco.; average guest numbers per unit per month are 10.000. The product rage is the same as that in Germany, but the
food comes solely from Polish suppliers.
