However hard it is to make a profit, even if you are profitable, you must appreciate how unforgiving a food business is to run day in day out. The daily routine is draining and void of any satisfaction if you are dealing with anything more complex than simply pouring coffee. It's hell to deal with low paid employees, food safety/cleanliness issues, the public's expectations... My franchises had lineups out the door, around a hundred employees, yet it was still hard to make a buck and worse to stick around and run it. Unless it's some hot night club or similar, there is no joy in running a food franchise.
Can never figure out why people dream of one day opening up a money losing Subway where they will work 75 hours per week because they can't afford employees and watch it fail within 18 months along with all their life savings.
