The golden arches. The red-haired girl with pigtails. The colonel with a beard and signature bowtie. All of these sentences instantly bring to mind the brands they are associated with, and also probably the instant taste and smell of the food they sell. These images are known on a global scale.

How did they do it? Through The Power of Franchising!

Have you ever wanted to start your own fast food/quick service restaurant? Maybe you have an idea for the “next big thing” when it comes to this ever-growing sector of the industry.

The average American spends about $1,200 a year on fast food. That’s easily $100 or more a month going towards this cultural phenomenon. It really IS a phenomenon when you look at it in terms of how fast the concept of franchised fast food has grown in less than a century.

Close your eyes and take yourself back to your childhood. Of course, you can remember the people and places, but it is the smell of food that makes the jigsaw stick together. Your mother, your father, the heartbeat of the kitchen, and the taste of love made real!

I have vast experience in starting, running, and ending a profitable restaurant business. I feel it is my duty to show you how to start your business from scratch, run it as best as you can, and then how to gracefully bow out if that time comes.

Most importantly, I want to equip you with my advice not just of what to do, but also of what not to do when you decide to start your own fast food restaurant.
