2. Rebirth fee scam. Franchise companies attract entrepreneurs to join under the guise of "rebirth fee" Later, when the entrepreneur opened the store, he claimed that only when the purchase amount reached the standard would he return part of the franchise fee to you. Be sure to ask this clearly before signing the contract to avoid being fooled.
3, false propaganda, when the so-called franchise chain company to promote international brands, foreign background, chain institutions, a company's domestic branch and other gimmicks, or claims to be endorsed by a star (usually not too popular star), we must pay attention, may be a liar.
4. Irresponsible commitment. Think twice when you say "100% profit", "absolutely no loss" and "top in the industry". Such propaganda words are not even allowed by the advertising law!
5. Follow-up service is zero
Mature franchise brands will provide all-round supporting services from site selection and decoration, staff training, publicity and planning, technical support, material distribution and so on. , but the information is not necessarily true.
6. There is a problem with the security of the business circle.
Usually, in order to ensure the operating interests of franchise stores, the franchise headquarters will have a business circle guarantee, that is, it will not open a second branch in a business circle.
7, there is no central kitchen unified distribution.
Some catering brands do not have complete purchase channels and R&D centers, and there is no central kitchen for unified distribution, so franchisees need to purchase raw materials themselves, which has potential risks.

3. The franchisee is at fault.
