Franchising

Mejeriet believes that franchising can be the modern cooperative in the Dairy Industry.

A franchise can include.

  • We establish a fully operational dairy plant with all processing, maintenance and controlling routines through direct work instructions. 
  • These routines include the responsibilities and duties of each person attached to the Dairy.
  • Establish and conduct a management system for the Dairy in question, including product quality, control, cost efficiency and budgetary control.
  • We conduct marketing and distribution channels for the Dairy products.
  • We are assessing the training needs of the staff to achieve the stipulated production performance target concerning product quality and Dairy revenue.

Make no mistake

It’s hard work to make a franchise brand World famous, but it can be done. Mejeriet can support you with a lot of the basic thoughts — The questionnaire below is from our preliminary evaluation documents
