Have you had success in your career yet seek independence and balance? Do you want control but don't know where to start? Do you seek Adventure? Make an informed choice. Life is too short. Let's have a conversation.
Managing a restaurant is hard work with long hours, there often is unplanned and untimely employee turnover, some drama, a great deal of code compliance, and it requires a tight fnancial management around loss, spoilage, waste, theft and breakage. Restauranteurs are certainly executing their own passion play, because for the investment, they could make a lot more money in many other industries within franchising than “food”. As consultants, we know what’s written in the previous paragraph, yet we constantly hear what’s in the following paragraph. A call comes in. “I want to buy this food franchise.” I respond with, “OK. Great. Why that particular one?” The usual response is something like, “I love the food, and it will do so well where I live.” That caller could be right, but if his goal is to create fexibility in his schedule but he fnds himself in the store serving the food instead of being with his family at an event, it doesn’t matter how tasty the food is if he is working rather than enjoying his family during several hours that he’ll never recover. If you fnd yourself loving the concept or loving the food, don’t become infatuated with the franchise. Rather, stick to buying that meal, not the business. Just because it looks good or tastes good from the customer side of the counter doesn’t at all suggest that the enjoyment is equal on the owner’s side. #FranchiseOpportunities #controlyourdestiny #changeyourlifetoday
