"This is a Mish-Mash... I am Completely Confused by Your Brand" | Dragons' Den 

Steven Lewis who would copy Nandos it’s hardly something worth copying

J Spooner exactly

It only made the owner a billionaire.

@@violethughes1783 lol you are not very clever

@@violethughes1783 look at the nandos menu it's even laid out the same way as this guys.

You are so right. He seems like a friendly and nice guy, but with a layer of slime covering him that you just can't get past.

Hahaha seems like the old Arab gents at the carpet shops trying to flog authentic Persian rugs lmaoo

😂 I can imagine him saying that too

😂😂😂 spot on

since the show, he know now owns indico street kitchen, dirty wild wings (40 franchises), jamaya, bulls street burgers and his baby direct wholesale.... dragons lost out big time... they laughed at him.

Amen

Amen

Amen

No wonder its complicated as hell

The whole time, I was thinking it reminded me of something, of course its Nandos.

Editors have gotten better

Not my cup op tea. I prefer the linear action...

Same here, I was like 😱😱

You must believe one of those people that believe in teleportation

I thought this was all linear at first too and that he had a twin who entered suddenly accompanied by two colleagues and some samples to throw off the dragons, haha

🤣🤣😭

I think it's nerves, a lot of it is most likely nervous laughter

Those are the dangerous untrusteble ones

I think it's how business should be done. What he was saying was serious but the way he said it was delightful

Hahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahaha

🤣 Yes. Difficult to take the guy seriously.

@@gazza2933 yeah ahahaha

Funny as I read your comment as he said it

They just go with what he says

a nice gentleman he is - shame the business is a mess

Yup. I was cringing

Exactly what I was thinking LMFAOO

Truss

I got stoned before watching this pitch and im very confused 😂

@@pdmore123 lol I was stoned also , I end up binge watching 10 clips when in high

Zeeshan Aslam Gorilla Glue tends to do that 😉

Sarah’s reaction was the same as ours

What a story Mark!

I know this was hugely entertaining like stand up

She couldn't make it that day, she was out.

Feaces

Hahah good one

Lmfaoo

at least the gal in her place is pleasant to look at 😉

Crunching those numbers big time

Lol

@AR - 9 lol probably only the girls

If you watch her notebook at the beginning you can see she doodled those before he started his pitch..unless what I noticed was part of the editing :/

1:05

lol yea i saw that, i was like shes so bored and confused so shes doodling

Now we know what their actually writing when they show the b roll shots...

@@zaixai9441 Although the name is quite literally a portmanteau of 'peri-peri' and 'Nando's. The business model is also exactly the same as Nandos. Franchise chicken restaurants and wholesale peri-peri sauce

@@JonasHamill Oh, so every company that sells sauce is a copy of Heinz? And Nandos didn't invent peri-peri.

Zaixai No. The name is literally a portmanteau of 'peri-peri' and 'Nando's. The business model is also exactly the same as Nandos. Franchise chicken restaurants and wholesale peri-peri sauce

@@JonasHamill Sure it is.

I work at Nando’s, and on my drive home there’s a takeaway called ‘Chicknando’s’ in the exact same font 😂

@Dom Excuse me, I am from Birmingham. And I DO NOT speak like that, or like a 'yam yam' before you say it.

@Dom Thank you 😁

@Darius Kang I couldn't give a fuck that he's a Muslim, I'd say the same about anybody that does it. So shove your bullshit claim of Islamaphobia, Xenophobia and racism up your shitter (which is clearly where you talk from).

Look up Peter Sellers.

he might be part New Zealand

Your right. A simple menu works for staff, customers, and of course chefs.

Plus it's less food wastage... Which means higher profits...

Yep....gordon ramsay always criticizes restaurants for having big menus. He says to keep it short and sweet.Maybe thats why peter lost his shirt in restaurant business....too many choices.

Nothing more annoying than: "I know it's not on the menu but..."

That's exactly what I was thinking like if you've ever watched Hell's kitchen that's like the first thing Gordon zeros in on is menus that are too big or too complicated nothing wrong with having a simple menu that you know you can execute well 100% of the time

Xysseus and the name sounds a lot like peri peri from Nando’s, even the dishes with samples in were the same as Nando’s

@@miickiie97 common confusion there, Peri Peri is just a flavour... Nandos don't own the name or the rights to it, they are just the most well known place that sells it... Its annoying too that they have created a whole industry of over priced chicken restaurants who think they can charge daft money just because Nandos get away with it. I've got "Chickandos" and "Nandinos" near me both have basically cloned the Nandos menu and charge 80% of their price for what other takeaways charge 1/4 of that for...

Yup. The whole thing seemed like a Nandos rip off. I honestly believe he just replaced the Nandos labels on the bottles as well.

Perios tastes way better than nandos, its not dry either

Copy cat bastards I hate ppl like these

Exactly! Even the bottle, and the font style. It's insane!

dj khaled answer the freaking question!!!

Well Deborah, when dinosaurs roamed the earth...

Paul Newcomb lol sorry can’t stand dishonesty, manipulation or downright bullsh*#*!!! A con is a con

Numbers are the end result of everything

Numbers cut through the nonsense

Dane Brown Trust me they’re all very rich.

Apart from jenny

@@victoriaknapp7475 I think we all already know that

Deborah gets on my nerves

She acts like everyone is beneath her

Touker is like what a plonker 🤣

Faheem: Can I copy your homework? Eric Cantona: (flying kick to Faheem's head) Faheem: (laughter of much mirth and merriment)

Eric Cantona Faheem: Ok hehehehehehehehehe

Jenny: I'm out

What's wrong with copying? And who doesn't?

Not a very good communicator too. He should at least bring someone to explain numbers

L6915 You saying your mother is an idiot? Give it a rest wanker.

Nah this is a slimy dude, can smell it from Another solar system

Totally agree :o)

This guy is a total con artist. He wreaks of con !

😂😂😂😂😂😂

nice

I think they cut it out.

Nice spelling

@@chans_dimples he prefers Toukie

It’s Tukar btw

TBH they are quite rude to him

In american culture, very true.

they often have serious other issues to be soooo continually nervous. I'm OUT.

laugh of a con man

خير الإسلام original 👍🏼

I genuinely laughed at this for about a minute. One of the best yt comments ever 😂

She's not even on this episode dude. Damn.

@@alien4053 And it's not even an original joke. I've seen it loads of times under many other Jenny videos. Ugh.

@@mjkg6026 not original at all. And it's old and boring.

Totally agree. It's amazing that people are still pitching wrong. Especially as the dragons have been asking the same 5 or 6 fundemental questions for years (patterns, forecast growth, entry to market , gross earning, margins). The dragons don't want to be told what's good about your business. They want to know how they can they can make money from your business. So pitch it to them that way. The product will speak for it's self so no need to harp on about how good it is. Talk about how it's gonna make moneys

Especially because if you know you’re going on this show you could literally just watch a few episodes to 100% know what they’ll most likely ask.

I think it's because sometimes, deep down, the pitchers know they don't have the numbers to back them up and they think they'll be the ones who manage to BS their way to an offer despite seasons of evidence to the obvious contrary. A bit like buying a lottery ticket everytime because you might win even if the chances are ridiculously low.

7:41

F off

Lol I’m convinced Jenny sits their doodling in her notebook

Seen many times their writing serious

@mr gwanson agreed

At least he got some publicity

@mr gwanson your taste buds need an operation

I keep seeing comments saying it's a rip-off of Nando's, but what is Nando's? (American here)

Yeah, what is Nandos?

@@J-Rad- it's a chain of casual quick service restaurants that focus on Portuguese style BBQ chicken

@@Lin_Zhou Yep and now I want a Nando's

@@p.v.7269 a restaurant chain, but that also sells sauces and dishes in supermarkets.

hotd0gheaven, thanks for the update. I think he is a very nice person, despite the confusion in his business model during his presentation. Some people are not made for the Big Business World, but they are still nice people and deserve to succeed. Glad he is doing OK. Cheers.

This is a nando's rip off, the dragons are just too up market to know about nando's

Some people have it in business and some people don't. He clearly has it but doesn't know why or how lol. It's all instinct and vibes and the minute he has to explain what it is that he does, he falls to pieces.

They involved in making money from drug's he put his own brother in jail I know this guy from 2004

I think this was a nice guy who understood his business but obviously could not communicate his concepts or business model at all, which amounts to having an uninvestable business in the Dragons’ eyes. Ironically, his name “Fahim” derives from the Arabic root “fhm” which means “understanding.”

It is Eastern culture starting in Middle East .

@@Nicolas-zb9uw hahahaha no its an indian thing shamelessly copied by Nepalese.

Not fake. That's how they laugh in that culture.

@Hairy Chinese Kid You're LITERALLY the one complaining. Just don't read the comments section or comment so that you can feel superior through complaining.

Nice try Jenny! And for that reason, you're out!

merge m8 Jenny: I want to invest in you Business owner: I’m out

@@GeorgeCollier stop complaining about complaining dude

I don't like your comment. For that reason, I'm out.'

Sarah said “is this really happening” lol

Deep

Lmao

@Lava Star, *Damn, you sure are a lil’ CUTIE 😍! May I PLEASE make direct payments towards your college tuition/student loans (Soon-To-Be Dr.) 😩?*

The hell are you on about.he can speak English properly and he literally says it’s his fault for not explaining

It's not about speaking English, it's about speaking with clarity - he is fine with the former, atrocious at the latter.

What? he seemed to speak perfectly reasonable English and if he can't be shouldn't be pitching it in English to an English speaking audience, his issue was his whole business model was confused, using language is not an excuse

But he has come for an investment of other peoples money and can't explain his business properly. Would you invest in him? He is given stark candid advice he needs to listen to.

@@diggerpete9334 no I wouldn't, but not because of his English.

Sarah and matey in middle.

komodo dragon is pleased

Yeah but there is more, Birmingham as well, I think.

Oof

The offer is, I'm out.

They have no restaurant in oxford

@@spickeyplayzyt4166 cowley road

@@tonymascero their restaurants are all based in birmingham but let me check

I see, Faheem never talks about that one. But now, I'm sure with his new franchise restaurant quavali he would get the dragons view

This sounds like a Sinefeld episode.

HANDY ANDY POOTISPENSER HERE

blueribenaberry I have often wondered the same thing , where is her neck???!

Toyota was founded by mr toyoda, the name altering for reasons of meaning I believe. Originally into manufacturing, when he went into car production he bombed by selling non suitable cars in the USa. Vowed not to make that mistake again, and this is part of reason Toyota commit to worldwide production, and sell different cars into each market. A visit to a US bakery, seeing how food was made to anticipated demand inspired his invention of just in time manufacturing, which revolutionised modern industry, along with other methods of continous improvement and people development. Family member still on the board, and active in the development of the GT86. Can also give you story of Tesco, but Mr Honda's story is much more interesting, as is the Mazda story and its unbreakable ties to Hiroshima.

That's what bankers do.

Misses Witch agreed the name thing was minor. peter jones had actual feedback though instead of just putting him down.

No he’s awful

He had a great personality and just needed help financially

who knows if this business works. he needed someone who could present it properly to come do it for him

A little, but he is asking for £130k of their money and he's not being very forthcoming in providing a clear understanding of the business. I have to say I really liked him!

Rebecca Farquharson very true

Or he could have practice, practice, practice repeatedly before he went in there.

Wouldn't it have been better to be prepared and remain stoic under criticism, rather than be a "complete failure"?

Yeah...he seems like a goofball who can't keep a thought in his head for more than a few seconds.

This whole video is just jokes man, this guy went in high and by the looks of 8:45 so did Touka
