Who is Ronnie McFarland?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ronnie is a successful businessman with a passion for great Bar-B-Q. "A
\nbusiness associate recently asked me; ‘Why do you do what you do?’<\/strong> With
\njust a little thought it came right to me, I reasoned that I must love what I
\ndo and must do it for the right reasons. First and foremost, I love my family
\nand want them to have a high standard of living and enjoy life to the fullest.
\nI love the independence of being my own boss versus working for the man. Being
\nthe boss carries a lot of responsibility, but the positive rewards outweigh the
\nnegatives. Being the boss also has allowed me a great sense of freedom that few
\npeople have the privilege to experience. I have always been blessed with the
\ndesire to succeed beyond my expectations and to make Bar-B-Cutie\u00c3\ufffd\u00c2\u00ae the best
\nBAR-B-Q restaurant concept in the world. For this, I am proud!" states
\nRonnie McFarland.<\/p>\n

How long has Bar-B-Cutie Restaurant been in existence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bar-B-Cutie Restaurant is in its third generation of family ownership. It has
\nbeen serving the Nashville area for over 50 years.<\/p>\n

How has Bar-B-Cutie evolved from where it started in 1950?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bar-B-Cutie opened its doors back in 1950 on Murfreesboro Road in Nashville,
\nTennessee serving short orders using car hops. After years of prospering, we
\nknew we had the right stuff and knew it was time to grow. In 2003, we started
\nour franchise and support company. We now operate our corporate stores in
\nNashville and a corporate headquarters in Brentwood, Tennessee where we train
\nour franchisees in all aspects of our business.<\/p>\n

What sets Bar-B-Cutie apart from other restaurants?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other than the 55 years of doing good business; 4 different revenue
\nstreams-dine-in, take out, catering, and drive thru; franchise friendly
\nmanagement team; low investment to get started; national food purchasing power;
\nnational store build-out & equipment purchasing program; national
\narchitectural group to manage project; extensive Bar-B-Cutie training boot
\ncamp, which includes hands on in store training and classroom training; brand
\ndevelopment 24\/7; access to executive management teams at all times; and happy
\nfranchisees to speak to on how we support them and their experience; we have
\nour distinguished, branded name! "It’s the name that stays with you",
\nsays Ronnie McFarland. "It tells you what we are and where we’ve came
\nfrom."<\/p>\n

What is the future for Bar-B-Cutie?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here at Bar-B-Cutie we are very excited about our growth and our product! We
\npresently have new stores opening in: Dallas, Texas; Hays, Kansas; Nashville,
\nTN (3 stores); Memphis, TN; and Wilmington , NC (53 county development deal).
\nWe anticipate signing 20 additional franchise agreements in 2007 with a goal of
\n100 stores by 2012. We look forward to you "Getting your Booty to
\nBar-B-Cutie" and seeing our 56 year old concept in action!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
