A recent guest on my Franchise Simply Radio Show, Wes Lambert, a hospitality industry expert, told me our monthly spend on the restaurant industry has increased from $4bn per month pre-COVID to $5bn per month today. The hospitality industry is booming. Not everywhere mind you. The CBD is probably not performing so well but with staff choosing to work from home, purchasing up to 5 meals a day (breakfast, mid-morning coffee, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner) the suburbs and regions are definitely flying.

Home services in franchising post 2022

An image with the words 'The great resignation' repeated multiple times in various fonts and styles

Professionals and middle management, frustrated with employers they believed were dealing badly with the situation resigned or they were forced out of employment by difficult conditions. Many took redundancies or decided to use savings or investment earnings to take control and move into business believing it would give them more control over life. Certainly, we, the three partners at The Franchise Alliance at that time, saw a significant rise in the number of new people looking to buy their own business.

Becoming a multiunit franchisee

Research by the Franchise Relationships Institute shows franchisees who operate multiple units, now generate over 50% of Australian franchise sector revenue. Franchise Relationships predicts this percentage will grow because it gives franchisors a great way to expand the group using people they know and who know them and it gives experienced franchisees in the group a new, challenging way to expand their own business.

Understand How A Franchisee Business Journey Promotes Growth Over The Years

Understand The Basics

First, you will have to concentrate on learning how to deliver the service or product the franchisor’s way. you might be an experienced restaurateur, but if you purchase a franchised restaurant you will have to learn how to manage that outlet their way, a more difficult task if you have habits to unlearn. It is no accident that maccas make prospective franchisees work in one of their restaurants for a year before they are finally accepted.
