Richman,” (2008). Brand standards reach every part of the business, from uniforms and how they are worn to what types of coupons the business can and cannot use. Franchisee inconsistency defeats the purpose of a franchise, thus emphasizing the importance of following brand standards. Franchise agreements may dictate locations, vendors, and options of operation. Many franchisors expect their franchisees to buy supplies only from their approved list of vendors. This limits the flexibility of a business owner, especially when these suppliers’ costs are much higher, and it cuts into profits. Another thing to watch out for in a franchise system is requirement by franchisor for royalty payments and marketing fees that affect profit.

Know what services are guaranteed from the franchisor and be…

The Subway story started when Fred DeLuca, its cofounder and his family friend Dr. Peter Buck, worked on a business plan for a submarine sandwich shop. Dr. Buck gave a loan of $1000 for implementation of this plan. The first restaurant was opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1965. It did well in its first summer with the help of advertising slogans like "put a foot in your mouth.'' Emphasizing the foot-long sandwich, and "when you're hungry, make tracks for Subway." Buck suggested opening a second restaurant. "That way people will see us expanding and think that we're successful." DeLuca has changed the company's system of franchise development several times over the years and has kept the concept simple and relatively inexpensive for franchise buyers (Walker, J.R. 2007, p.27).
