First, we don't pay attention to the protection of business circle

When joining, we must ask clearly whether there is regional business circle protection when joining, because many joining companies deliberately don't advance this aspect when joining, and people who join will not ask if they don't understand it, but this problem is still very serious. In the same area, the same brand, one store may be very popular, two stores may be not bad, and three stores and four stores may not.

Second, there is no mature management team

At present, hot pot franchise companies basically engage in nationwide investment promotion, but in fact, many companies, including teams, have only a few people or a dozen people. You can imagine how a team of such a few people can be responsible for the nationwide store operation and how to maintain the franchisees' stores well. Some may say what customer management system we use to manage them, which is used to fool franchisees who don't understand.

Third, brands don't have a long history.

Nowadays, many specialty hot pot brands haven't been established for a long time. When they opened a shop, they began to attract investment everywhere on the Internet. None of their stores were well-managed, and they started to attract investment purely for the sake of making money. This not only harmed themselves, but also harmed franchisees who trusted you. It is impossible for a brand to mature without going through the tempering of time. Only those brands that survived the test of time are worthy of your choice.

Fourth, there is no production system of their own

At present, many specialty hot pot franchisees don't have their own production systems, and all of them cooperate with other companies to produce, but when they publicize outside, they will say that their companies have a professional production system. However, if you find that your taste and bottom material price have changed one day after joining, it is estimated that the company has changed to a cooperative company, so it is easy for a store to lose old customers by constantly changing tastes.

5. Verbal irresponsible promises

Nowadays, many specialty hot pot franchisees use exaggerated propaganda words such as "111% success in opening stores", "low investment, no risk" and "guarantee you to make money". The key point is that many people still believe them. These are actually unrealistic verbal promises.

When you believe that these are the traps you fall into to join the scam, no matter what industry can guarantee 111% success and 111% profit now, starting a business without risk is a false trap, so I should recognize the situation clearly and don't get hot-headed.
