it's a fricking franchise chain...i.e. doesn't take a whole lot of money and/or effort to start..I do wish him the best, but like hanzrobby said...claiming to be the best (like some banner ads too) without any proof is just stupid imho.

I don't know anything about this guy so this isn't a personal defense of him or his business.Yes, he shouldn't have claimed to be the best without supporting evidence but he may not have realized that. And it wasn't that claim that the op made fun of. It was the business name.My only connection to Go Fast is that I dropped in there one afternoon for a cooked chicken when I had no idea what to fix for dinner. The chicken was good and I'm glad to have a source for chicken that isn't going to take me a few hours to go from raw bird to the table, especially since I don't eat chicken.

start up money, weekly costs, overseeing, admin - if he is serious about this, he is working his butt off and has to remain focussed. Claiming to have best chicken? plenty of businesses claim they are the best - same old, same old. However, I was disappointed. The potatoes are not at all to my taste or to anyone else in our house. The chicken was dry which was really disappointing - we had the French chicken. Maybe an off day? Based on our experience, they need to lift their game because there is plenty of competition around.

Hi pollyanna, yeah we often see and think about things the same way :)do you know that the beautiful thing of an un-established franchise name like "Go fast" (not like McDonald or KFC) the price is not that much to become a franchise..back-office help i.e. advertising,prints, menu's, pricing, location of store/resto, interior, sourcing chicken and such, staff-training, etcetc..is all done/organised by back-office management (headquarters). a Personal business-plan is therefor absolete (no headaches), but also no personal input.Like I said I wish him all the best, like I wish almost all people who start a some sort of business..creating employement and such.I'll stick with my ayam kampung since he doesn't deliver here ;)

To have pizza delivered with all the effort of a phone call sounds like luxury to me.

Okay Pollyanna, I will slip up your way this week with a pizza. I realise I no longer look that good in a leather mini skirt and fish net stockings but the boss said we have to wear them when doing house calls. ( hang on! maybe I am getting confused with my previous vocation).Hopefully we will see you at the get together at the Ducks Nutz in Sanur on the 13th of August. I had a chat to the management and have negotiated a bar tab of 1,000,000 rupiah. With a bit of extortion and black mail this may even get increased.

No worries, this is just my humor. I have a first hand understanding and personal interpretation of the French having served with some pretty dubious non French buddies in an organization created to defend France derived from many nationalities, the least represented being France. And no I'm not an Aussie.Cheers.[/QUOTE]Maybe something closer to Assie?

I've seen you in pants and that's fine but I DO NOT want to see you in your mini skirt.The management of the Ducks Nutz is being very generous. I hope those voices in his head aren't causing him too many problems.

Sadly he did not realise that running a restaurant and hotel actually also included being friendly to customers.
