I worked at wendys for 6 years.

3 years as a manager.

Unless you have a STRONG management team that is able to work without being baby sat, running a fast food franchise is extremely involved.

So involved that I don't think its even worth the profit.

The wendy's I worked at brought in as little as $2,000 profit a month at times, while grossing over $100,000 in sales that same month. Thats because of the same things everyone else mentioned. Food cost, labor, turnover, waste etc etc.

If you are serious about buying it MAKE SURE you have a STRONG management staff. Without a strong management staff your profit will be horrible.
