No es necesario tener experiencia en el sector de las cocinas para presentar una solicitud, tal como descubrirás en esta conversación con los hermanos Thijs y Lex Kaptein. Abrieron Kvik Heerhugowaard en los Países Bajos en 2018 y ya los nombraron Tienda del Año en nuestra Reunión Anual en 2022. Su éxito no terminó aquí y abrieron su segunda tienda, Kvik Hoorn, en noviembre de 2023. 

Pero vamos a escuchar su historia... Me gusta llamarla «Di sí a la cocina», y sabrás por qué en un momento...

2 - Conoce a nuestros franquiciados — Kvik Valencia

Season 3 · Episode 2

mardi 2 juillet 2024Duration 32:11

Hoy hablamos con uno de nuestros franquiciados, Miguel Zafon. Miguel abrió Kvik Valencia Sorni en el apogeo de la pandemia de coronavirus, en un precioso edificio en el centro de Valencia que anteriormente había sido un banco. Desde que hablamos con él, ha abierto su tienda insignia, Kvik Alfafar. Cuando estuvimos allí, no era más que un solar vacío, pero lo visitamos y hablamos con Miguel sobre sus sueños para la tienda. En este episodio te lo contaremos con más detalle.

Somos un concepto de franquicia y tenemos cerca de 200 tiendas en 12 países. Tenemos ambiciosos planes de crecimiento y queremos abrir aún más tiendas: ahora mismo tenemos 65 vacantes disponibles para franquiciados en nuestro sitio web y nuestro objetivo es crecer con al menos ¡cien tiendas más! Así que si dentro de ti hay un emprendedor que está deseando salir, echa un vistazo a nuestro sitio web y comprueba si hay alguna vacante cerca de ti. Buscamos personas que quieran ser sus propios jefes, pero con el respaldo de un concepto, un producto y un equipo sólidos. No es necesario tener experiencia en el sector de las cocinas, como descubrirás en esta conversación con Miguel. Lo único que necesitas es el deseo de aunar todo lo que te apasiona y la voluntad de trabajar duro para hacer crecer tu negocio.

1 - Conoce a nuestros franquiciados — Kvik Hamburg Altstadt

Season 3 · Episode 1

mardi 2 juillet 2024Duration 27:45

Hoy nos tomamos un breve descanso de nuestra serie sobre diseño danés para contar otro tipo de historia. Somos un concepto de franquicia y contamos con más de 185 tiendas en 12 países que venden cocinas de diseño danés.

Queremos crecer a lo grande. Eso significa que buscamos constantemente nuevos franquiciados, tanto para nuevas ubicaciones como para que se hagan cargo de las tiendas ya existentes. En este sentido, hemos hablado con algunos de nuestros socios franquiciados para que nos cuenten su historia. Presentaremos estas historias de vez en cuando en el feed de The Sociable Kitchen®. 

Hemos hablado con Ralph y Mai Nissen, que abrieron nuestra primera tienda en Alemania en julio de 2021: Kvik Hamburg Altstadt. Se trata de una pareja danesa que lleva muchos años viviendo en Alemania, pero que casualmente se crió no muy lejos de donde se fundó Kvik en Dinamarca. 

Ambos habían trabajando en el comercio minorista, pero no tenían experiencia en el sector de las cocinas, así que les preguntamos cómo se enteraron de la oportunidad...

Y solo un apunte: esto se grabó en su tienda en el corazón de Hamburgo, por lo que es posible que oigas trenes pasar y el ruido de una gran embarcación que estaba excavando en el canal justo al lado de la ventana donde grabamos. Te pedimos disculpas por ello.

3: Meet our Franchisees — Kvik Heerhugowaard

The success of their stores is attributed to hard work, a clear vision, and exceptional service, ensuring customers feel cared for and valued.Moreover, the episode discusses the training and support provided by Kvik to its franchisees, including various training programs, network building, and comprehensive business support, from location selection to daily business operations.

7 — What's next for Danish design?

Season 1 · Episode 7

vendredi 1 décembre 2023Duration 19:42

In this final episode of The Sociable Kitchen® podcast's first series on Danish design, host Julie Broberg explores the evolving landscape of Danish design, from its mid-20th century roots to its modern-day ethos. Central to this evolution is the Danish design process of "tænke, tegne, teste" (think, draw, test), a cycle emphasising continuous iteration and improvement.

The Confederation of Danish Industry proposes a new design policy, moving beyond the traditional focus on objects like chairs and lamps to a broader view of design as a collaborative process. This approach involves not just designers but a diverse team of experts, addressing complex challenges with robust, sustainable solutions.

Designer Lærke Ryom, a recent graduate, exemplifies this new direction. She discusses her hands-on approach to repurposing materials, such as transforming discarded jeans into upholstery for chairs and using offcuts from production processes for new creations. This reimagining of materials is part of a larger shift towards sustainability in Danish design, acknowledging the significant environmental impact of design decisions.

The podcast also delves into how Danish design culture, characterised by flat organisational structures and a collaborative ethos, is uniquely suited to tackle modern challenges. This culture encourages a multidisciplinary approach, where everyone from CEOs to interns contributes ideas and expertise.

In conclusion, as Danish design moves forward, it embraces a holistic, user-centric approach, integrating aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility.
