Great thread idea @MG0h3 - what franchise you thinking? Wifey and I thought about that, but typically the capital needed, without immediate ROI, and needing full time attention, just didnt make sense
I'd be worried about finding a staff.I’m looking at a couple different food franchises.
I’m good financially as far as capital.
Once you’re up and running, your manager should be running the operation. You need to be available at all times to take calls or what not but it doesn’t need to be full time.

I was I I this close to opening a small burger (smash burger style) spot (just a grab n go) in our local downtown area before covid. It was going to cater to all the state workers and be open only for a few hours a day.I’m looking at a couple different food franchises.

Damnnn.Spine surgery,................& not wind up in a wheelchair !!
That sucks man.Goals are:
3. Find a new job, this could/should be number 1. I asked for a raise after 2.5 years with my current employer and got a pay cut instead.
I am literally the only person at my work who answers the phones and emails. A month after being hired I was given a raise to what I was asking for (below market value, I needed to pay my bills). In October (2021) I asked for a raise, just to keep up with 2 years of inflation, and asked to work from home and was denied both. My boss last month cut my salary in half and added commission from my sales. I have yet to bring home a check that is equal to my previous pay. I was so upset on Monday I thought about no call, no showing to protest my new pay scale. If I had a family I'd be upside down for sure. Replacing me will not be easy, it would probably take 2-3 people to do my job.Damnnn.
Good luck man!
That sucks man.
I almost feel your pain. Been asking for a raise for almost 4 years now. Finally I grew some balls, LOL, and pretty much demanded that I get a raise. As one of the best producers at work, I don't know why this would be an issue? Stupid.

Almost a certainty at this point.Time to move on.

Resolve some of my issues; so I can get the hell on with my life.
Pick your poison.
Time to find something else. I have had a nightmare of a year General Contracting. I made good money, but the unnecessary headaches I dealt with every single day were down right depressing or infuriating. I was at Lowe's the other day, and the guy there told me that for someone like me that already knows the parts and pieces they would start at $25 an hour to stock shelves in a department. My only bills are my house, food, and gas. I could pull 20 hours a week and make a living with 0 headaches. I have 2 weeks of work left, then I am taking February off and figuring out what I want to do this year.I am literally the only person at my work who answers the phones and emails.

Just hoping to get my shit together. Divorce and single parenthood wrecked my life both personally and professionally. I put everything I had left into being a father and now that the divorce is done I need to get organized and start kicking ass again. The panic over Covid is making everything infinitely worse at work so I'll most likely close up shop in 2022 and go find someone to work for.
