‘High frying’ Norwich entrepreneurs
Lord Somerleyton and his business partner Toby Marchant opened Hot Chip in Norwich
in June 2013. Within a year, it had won best chip shop in Norfolk at the National Chip
Week awards.
They now plan to open a ‘Hot Chip Saloon’, to target the late-night economy. Lord 5
Somerleyton said: “Before we can turn Hot Chip into a national brand we know we need
to have between three and five successfully trading shops.”
The entrepreneurs also hope to open a Hot Chip van. The idea came from visiting Great
Yarmouth’s chips stalls and the incredible success of chips as a meal in themselves on the
continent. Lord Somerleyton said: “We went around 30 to 40 fish and chip shops in East 10
Anglia and found as much as 50% of their sales were just portions of chips.”
Hot Chip sales data showed that chips and cheesy chips had initially been most popular,
but customers were increasingly trying more adventurous toppings and sauces, such as:
hot salt beef, gherkin relish, melting Swiss cheese and mustard mayonnaise.

Extract D
Fast food management styles
‘My Secret Life on the McJob’ by Jerry Newman shows the range of management styles
used in the fast food business.
Newman found managers differ in the way they operate: “How employees were treated
was part of an individual store culture”. He describes Toxic Managers as those who use 5
sarcasm or disrespect toward workers; Mechanical Managers were just doing their job
– “as if fast food was a slow death”. On rare occasions, Newman discovered Relationship
Managers whose caring and kindness was extended to workers, even when they were
not on the job. He defined Performance Managers as leaders who built relationships to
serve as a “means to ensure performance”. 10
Newman was frustrated by the general lack of training and high employee turnover rates.
He includes a chapter called ‘Training the Utterly Confused’, which explains the missed
opportunity to instil the correct work habits immediately. This matches other experts’
advice to “give applicants a realistic preview of what to expect on the job”. What the
customer sees of working in a fast food restaurant can be misleading: “What you see, is 15
not what you get”, he says.
