Listen "The right and the wrong way to franchise a restaurant"
Episode Synopsis
What is the right franchising strategy for your restaurant brand?
It’s not as simple a question as you may think. And I brought in Sean Thompson, VP of IT with Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers, to discuss franchising strategies and what may or may not work for restaurant brands.
The number of strategies for franchising a restaurant brand, or any industry for that matter, is as varied as the companies themselves. There are companies that love big operators and those that prefer smaller franchisees and everything in between.
There are also misnomers about franchisees. They are not always local. And they’re not always small.
In any event, we sort it all out on this episode as we talk about what works and what doesn’t and what is the key ingredient in any franchise company. Please check it out.
