Wingers - the Chicken Wing company - is a young, fresh, modern franchise. When the team set out to franchise the popular fried chicken brand developed during the Pandemic, they wanted the most efficient, streamlined processes put in place from day one. This makes life easy for franchisees. It’s little wonder that they chose to adopt a secure online portal to bring everything into one place from the outset. It sits well alongside their adoption of tech in the restaurants that enhances their customer experience.
The TaxAssist Practice Engine has been developed in collaboration between experts at the TaxAssist Support Centre and a working party of franchisees who all contributed to the system. The guides provide the most efficient uses of technology, smart onboarding processes, effective client experience advice and a range of key performance indicators that allow franchisees to manage and monitor the performance of their accounting practice that suits their style of management.
