starting a business is not so easy, especially in the troublesome catering industry. Nowadays, many people choose to dine in franchise chain in order to realize their dream of starting a business, but their own conditions are not sufficient. The following is an introduction to the matters needing attention in franchise chain, which I hope will be helpful to your business: 1. Before starting a business, you must make sure whether you are interested in this business. If you are not interested, you'd better think about it carefully, because interest is the best motivation for entrepreneurs to overcome difficulties and an essential factor for success. The catering industry is a business of getting up early and getting greedy for the dark. If you are not ready for this hard work, you'd better consider it first. Since ancient times, the catering industry has been "diligent", so lazy people can't do it. Starting a new business, the first three years are hard. Interest, ideals and enthusiasm are the driving forces that support entrepreneurs to stick to the end, and even determine the future development of new businesses. Therefore, when entrepreneurs choose projects in franchise chain, they must take interest as the guide. 2. Actively accumulate industry experience before opening a store. The so-called interlacing is like a mountain, and the peers are different, which is caused by familiarity or not. Industry experience is a very important compulsory course for a catering franchisee. It is difficult to get some industry experience from one or several books, and many things can only be obtained by personal experience. Therefore, catering franchisees should pay attention everywhere and accumulate more. The channels for franchisees to accumulate include reading more food and beverage industry magazines and industry news, getting to know some colleagues in the food and beverage industry, and communicating with them about the market situation of food and beverage, so as to cultivate their unique fashion concept and keen fashion sense, and find out the demand points and profit points of the market. After an entrepreneur signs a preliminary agreement with a favorite franchisee, the franchisee will generally provide a series of pre-opening training courses. This training course often teaches solutions to the problems that may be encountered in starting a business. In addition, it may also teach some industry knowledge related to joining projects, so entrepreneurs should take it seriously. 3. Distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of franchise brands At present, there are many types of catering franchise chains, so it is very important for franchisees to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages when facing many franchise brands. First of all, we should find out where the differences of brands in the same industry are and whether they are competitive in the market. Secondly, now is the era of "service is king". Is there anything unique in the service of enterprises? Thirdly, we should pay attention to whether the staff are professional and sincere, which will affect the atmosphere of cooperation in the future. Finally, don't be greedy for cheap, try to join in restaurants with higher selective prices among similar products, which is beneficial to long-term operation. In addition to the above considerations, franchisees should also deeply understand and inspect the various conditions promised by franchisees. For example, whether the franchisee is formal and legal, whether its business license and business scope are confirmed, the credibility of the franchisee, the quality of the employees you contact, and whether there is a complete franchise contract all represent the strength of the franchisee to a certain extent. 4. Be sure to look at the location accurately. Many catering franchisees are in poor operating condition after joining, and many reasons are due to the problem of site selection. Choose a good business location, and start a business half the battle. The gold content of a store is not the level of rent, but how much turnover it can create. Field trip is the most effective way to find a cheap and good store.
