NEW YORK CITY, NY –&nbsp;<a href="https://atomicwingsfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=atomic-wings-celebrates-exceptional-q1-growth-with-10-new-stores-under-construction-and-announces-exciting-initiatives-for-2023-2722120" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Atomic Wings</a>, the 15-unit brand specializing in flavorful chicken wings, is starting off 2023 with a bang. In Q1, the New York-based wing franchise experienced strong sales numbers, celebrated the successful opening of a new store in Utica and sold two new Area Representative agreements, in both Dallas and Northern California. The company has an additional 10 locations under construction, with plans to open throughout the year, bringing the delicious experience of Atomic Wings to new states across the country, including Arkansas, Nevada, Indiana and Texas. Atomic Wings has always prided itself on innovation and are launching the brand’s first two drive thru locations in Houston, TX and Joliet, Illinois in Q3 and Q4 respectively.&nbsp;"2023 is going to be a phenomenal year for us. We're excited to introduce our great wings to people nationwide," said Atomic Wings CEO Zak Omar. “Growth has been tremendous over the past year and we are excited to maintain that momentum with new grand openings across the country. Our organic growth and commitment to quality have positioned us as a trusted brand in the industry."To keep up with this trajectory, Omar says Atomic Wings has made sure to build out its support infrastructure behind the scenes, as well. For example, this quarter saw Atomic Wings partner with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.buxtonco.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=atomic-wings-celebrates-exceptional-q1-growth-with-10-new-stores-under-construction-and-announces-exciting-initiatives-for-2023-2722120" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Buxton</a>, a real estate data company, to help franchisees analyze top-performing locations and identify ideal areas for future expansion. This strategic approach to growth ensures franchisees can confidently open new locations with a strong potential for success.The company is also thrilled to launch its Atomic Wings 2.0 remodel program later this year, featuring a completely fresh look that stays true to its New York roots. The updated design, which was created in partnership with an industry-leading firm, includes a dedicated station for pickup orders in response to the increased demand for third-party delivery services, as well as a new logo, lighting and seating."Our new remodel sets Atomic Wings apart in the industry, offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere for friends and family to enjoy," Omar said. "The updated design is not only visually appealing but also streamlines the ordering process, providing an enhanced experience for both customers and franchisees."Atomic Wings has also introduced a new&nbsp;<a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/atomic-wings-official/id1630370814?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=atomic-wings-celebrates-exceptional-q1-growth-with-10-new-stores-under-construction-and-announces-exciting-initiatives-for-2023-2722120" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">mobile app</a>, featuring the brand's first loyalty and rewards program, alongside the recent launch of its redesigned website. The company remains committed to providing unmatched support for franchisees through its robust technology platform and direct access to the corporate team.“Overall, we are a small company, but we punch way over our heads — only the best for our franchise owners,” said Omar. “As we continue to welcome new franchisees into our system, we want to ensure we hold their hands every step of the way, whether it be their lease, construction package, vendor lists, brand guidelines, equipment requirements or marketing strategies. Our corporate team has over 60 years of QSR experience and we know how to help you succeed with this business.”Looking ahead, the brand aims to become a top choice in the chicken wing industry and explore international opportunities in South Asia and the Middle East. With its ambitious growth plans, strong franchisee support and innovative initiatives, Atomic Wings is well-positioned for even greater success in 2023 and beyond.“As people start seeing us around the nation, we're going to get more inquiries. Most of our growth has been word-of-mouth and people coming into our restaurants,” said Omar. “Our goal is to capture this momentum and continue. We are going to stay aggressive in terms of selling units and letting the world know we’re growing in a big way.”The total investment necessary to begin the operation of an Atomic Wings restaurant is $155,900 to $338,500. The total investment necessary to begin the operation of a multi-unit developer business for a required minimum of three Atomic Wings franchises is $197,900 to $381,000.

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential.
