Tips for Choosing the Right Franchise for Your Food Start-up

The food service industry is one of the fastest-growing in the world. That's a direct result of our current lifestyle. People don't seem to have the time, nor the will to cook for themselves. It is the food service industry that is cashing in on that trend. From the looks of things, that's a trend set to grow, without any signs of stopping anytime soon. Therefore, investing in a food start-up franchise makes perfect sense. Here’s our blueprint on how to choose the right franchise for your food start-up.

Ask yourself: What do I want to accomplish through franchise?

This is all about being honest with yourself, knowing what you want to accomplish, and what can you achieve. But most important of all, you need to know your limits, both financial and else wise. You need to be clear with yourself about all those things so that later you don’t end up overreaching and making wrong estimates. The truth is, investing in a franchise means that you will always be making decisions. Decisions for which you will need to make your best estimate given the current situation and factors. By knowing yourself and your limits, you can make better and smarter decisions.  

How Much Can You Invest?

Food start-up, or some other type of start-up, you need to set up a budget before making your move. Nowadays, there are franchise food start-ups that can be started with $10K and some that require an investment in a couple of hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Of course, there are plenty in between. Keep in mind that aside from your initial investment in the franchise, you will need to take into account operational costs daily. These costs need to be covered until your start-up starts generating cash.

Explore The Food Franchise Landscape

This is about looking at your options, what’s out there, the cost, what people like, what they dislike, how is getting great reviews, who not so much. The idea is to get a sense of what’s available and maybe even make a list of potential food franchise businesses you might invest in. At this point, it will be like casting a big net and seeing what will come out. The ones that are out of your budget limit, are too demanding, are getting bad reviews, or you don't like their food, they are the ones that you need to eliminate from your list first.

Choose Facts Over Emotions

Thing is you might like franchise very much. You like their products, how they serve their clients, their business model, and everything in between. However, don't just rely on your instinct, or you might end up losing money. In some countries, franchisors are obligated to disclose all their documents. That way, you can have the full picture at hand before making any financial or legal commitment.

Talk To Franchises

Let's say you've identified a specific franchise opportunity, you've talked to their representatives, checked all available documents, and from the look of things they look solid. The next step is talking to some of the franchises. Don't just talk to the ones that they will recommend you, but also other random franchises. That way, you can have a better feel at what it means to be a franchise for that particular company. Furthermore, if you can find them, you can even talk to former franchises. The ones that invested and failed to make a profit. Their experience and feedback can be both indispensable and very revealing.

How Long Does It Take To Return Your Investment?

Whether it is a food franchise or some other, it all comes down to how fast you can return your investment, and how much you can earn. Again, it’s all about doing your research, going through the numbers, how fast other franchises got their initial investment back, and how much they earn per year.

Is The Franchisor Easy To Work With?

Truth is some franchisors are way better than others and take great care of their franchises. Typically, the ones that spend more time helping put their franchises, provide a lot of training and support, are the best and most successful ones.

Review The Franchise Agreement With Your Lawyer

This is so you know exactly what you are getting into; what are your legal obligations, what you are entitled to get from your franchisor, what will happen if there is a breach of the agreement from some of the sides, and so on. Take your time to understand every aspect of the agreement, what it means to you, its relation to the local laws and regulations.

In Conclusion

The main point is not to jump blindly into something that feels like an excellent business opportunity. Do your researches, talk to a lawyer, and even make the call to which franchise suits you most.

Activision Blizzard lanceert nieuwe afdeling consumentenproducten

Activision Blizzard kondigt vandaag de lancering aan van een nieuwe Consumer Products-afdeling met als CEO en directeur de ervaren Tim Kilpin (voorheen executive van Mattel en Disney). Deze nieuwe afdeling zal Activision Blizzards wereldwijde groeistrategie verder versnellen met behulp van iconische content en nieuwe manieren waarop het publiek betrokken kan worden met de franchises en personages van het bedrijf.

“Inspirerende speelmogelijkheden, competities en gemeenschappen vormen de basis van al onze bezigheden. Het idee om het publiek onze franchises op nieuwe manieren te laten ervaren sluit daar naadloos op aan,” zei Activision Blizzard Chief Executive Officer, Bobby Kotick. “Onder Tims leiding zullen we onze consumentenproductaanbiedingen naar hetzelfde, buitengewoon hoge niveau tillen als onze games, en de manieren transformeren waarop fans in hun dagelijkse leven verbinding maken met hun geliefde personages.”

De lancering van de nieuwe consumentenproductenafdeling is een nieuwe strategische pilaar in Activision Blizzards uitbreiding van de platformen waarmee ze hun boeiende franchises aanbieden aan het publiek, inclusief interactieve content, televisie en film, competitieve games en mobile.

“Activision Blizzard is een wereldwijde powerhouse in entertainment, en de combinatie van iconische franchises en een enorm publieksbereik biedt geweldige kansen voor retailers en partners,” zei Kilpin. “Ik neem met veel plezier de leiding over deze nieuw gevormde afdeling, om samen met Activision Blizzards bijzonder getalenteerde consumentenproductenteam sterke nieuwe samenwerkingen op te zetten, en aldus het publiek op nog meer manieren te bereiken.”

In zijn nieuwe functie krijgt Kilpin de leiding over de ontwikkeling van innovatieve consumentenproducten om de betrokkenheid van het publiek met Activision Blizzards iconische franchises te vergroten en verdiepen. Dit middels langdurige samenwerkingen met winkels, hoogkwalitatieve producten en gloednieuwe consumentenervaringen. Activision Publishing, Blizzard Entertainment en King Digitals getalenteerde consumentenproductenteams sluiten zich bij Kilpin aan in deze nieuwe afdeling.

Tot voor kort deed Kilpin dienst als Mattels directeur en chief commercial officer, waarbij hij de leiding had over de verkopen en marketingfuncties in alle regio’s. Daarvoor deed hij dienst als executive vicepresident voor Mattels Boys and Girls Division. Daar gaf hij leiding aan de wereldwijde merkstrategie, marketing, productontwerp en –ontwikkeling, consumentenproducten en contentontwikkeling voor de iconische merken van het bedrijf, inclusief Barbie, Hot Wheels en Monster High. Eerder was Kilpin executive vicepresident van franchisemanagement bij The Walt Disney Company, waar hij sturing gaf aan wereldwijde cross-category franchiseplannen voor Disney Princess, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse en Pixar.

3 'Must Have' Words for Franchise Supplier Growth...

    Like you, we are a Franchise Supplier. We design applications that revolve around the real-world needs (pain points) of franchise organizations. Everything we write incorporates 3 Words.  Always. Always. Always! 1 - Political:  is your product or service designed to address the real-world needs of real-world franchisees (Mom and Pops who are totally slammed, under financed and who don't know what they don't know... in some cases)? Is your product or service perceived as ultimately beneficial to franchisees by franchisees? Is it obvious? Your answers should be, "YES!". 2 - Practical:  is your product or service easy-to-use?  Is it user friendly? Is it franchisee friendly?  There is a difference! Do you require special hardware or software or certification or anything that could make signing with you a bit too complex? Can you keep in simple both in terms of signing up and in terms of pricing levels? 3 - Legal:  let's face it, franchising sometimes involves litigation. Franchisees sometimes look for legitimate loopholes or questionable loopholes. Does your product or system provide for some kind of compliance or accountability tracking? Do you maintain access and/or use records? Can your client document their franchisees' use of your product or service so franchisees cannot come back and say they never received support?  

                                   These 3 Words relate to franchising because franchisees are most often considered as independent contractors.  Sometimes they follow the franchisor's system and sometimes they don't. Franchise Suppliers cannot assume that their product or service will actually be used by franchisees. Just because the franchisor endorses your company doesn't mean that franchisees will automatically buy-in. Everything you do to generate and support business with franchise organizations should incorporate these 3 Words. Everything! A huge advantage and a huge card to play when you're working with franchisors and especially their franchisees.

  IFX Supplier Advisory Services - What Clients Say:

  "Cadence9 has been a client of IFX since January 2013.  Cadence9 is a hosted software platform that helps marketing teams plan, publish, engage and measure their social media and content marketing activities.  Prior to our engagement with IFX, the company played in a much more horizontal space.  As a result of some early projects, we concluded that we should consider focusing our resources on the franchise industry.

  To start this shift, we decided it was critical to find a “trail guide”.  Being new to the world of franchises, we didn’t have the time nor budget to explore and develop lessons learned.  Rather we wanted to work with someone that knew the industry, was also a supplier and could relate to our technology.

  By calling around it didn’t take long to see that IFX and Dan Martin were repeated references. After a couple of meetings, we started our relationship.  IFX has been instrumental in helping us “cut-to-the-chase”.  In hind sight, we have pretty much adopted the recommendations Dan made to us.  In the year we have been working with Dan, we have made a 100% shift toward the franchise industry, modified our technologies and messaging, and participated in numerous events including sponsorship participation in Dan’s own conference and the most recent IFA 2014 event in New Orleans.  Equally as important is that we have signed on franchisors as customers."
