I’d rather be selling franchises, than buying them. It’s less work and more cash flow. As an independent, food costs are 25-30%, not including rent, equipment, insurance, and sales tax. Now, factor in monthly franchise fees, along with initial start up costs. I prefer to own my own business, be my own boss, and keep my over head to a minimum.
