it's not as easy as it looks

first you have to buy the franchise [I would bet pricey]

then they are always a triple net lease

so buy the signage and all equipment [also pricey]

now stock the food [you buy from vendors only approved by the corporate Franchise, so don't bother looking around for a 'deal' on price]

hire employees - a manager, assistant manager, opener and closer along with hourlies [you won't get them for minimum wage either]

have cash to put in your worker's comp state fund

get a fat life insurance policy [it's required] - health insurance for your employees - building and equipment insurance - liability insurance - food loss insurance

hire an outside auditor for your P&L statements [also required by Franchise Corporate]

so they can verify the monthly royalty and advertising fees you pay them [a percentage of your sales]

send in your rent check

you'll be lucky if you clear .03 on the .75 cent donut
