Anyone own a food franchise on the side? Seems like it could be somewhat profitable as somewhat passive income

Think you may need to rethink your definition of passive. I imagine it’s a ton of work

I don’t see that there could be much passive about it

you better run it or you will have the privilege of understanding all the details of chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation). the restaurant biz requires lots of care and feeding. imagine the worst person you have dealt with at your firm. multiply by 10x and that will be your #1 rest employee. go work for a well run chain (Morton’s, Chili’s, etc) for a year and work every role from dish washer to manager. if you still want to do it after that then rock on. otherwise remember this moment when you are living on your last penny.

grew up in the biz (family owned) spent 20 yrs in it (off and on) started at 9 yrs old. i’ve seen many more failures than successes. if you haven’t worked in it and have a solid handle on it - you will earn less than minimum wage and wish for your consulting job. 80 hour weeks are the norm if you are running it well.

Sorry I meant own as a silent investor/partner. Worked in a franchise for 4 years in college and we had owners who played no role in the operations of the restaurant.

Great work if you can get it but costs a million dollars right?

I am leaning toward keeping my order with Lowes … current fridge works, it is just old and shelves / ice maker is broken.

Hey everyone!
I'd love to get your feedback on our subscription marketing service.

My partner and I created a cost-effective subscription so small / medium-sized businesses could focus more running their business and strategies without the need to hire in-house, manage multiple freelancers, or fight with agencies.

We do this with a proprietary Workspace so marketing managers can delegate projects, connect with our team, and download completed work / files.

I have a boss from hell. She’s the GM of my hotel and she is a mean girl that never grew out of highschool. She loves gossip. She will trash talk her employees with other employees and once her toxic garbage starts to leak amongst us peons she will send a group text telling us all to stop spreading rumors and to stop being bullies like she isn’t the mean kid with a magnifying glass torturing ants for no reason. I want to stand up but I’ve seen her retaliate on people who have tried to. Help.
