As long as you've got an open mind, because man, if the goal is some passive income to escape the 9-5 grind...? I dont think a Franchise Restaurant is the answer to that.
They always tell you in Business School..."have your own business! Be your own Boss! Work your own hours!"
What they neglect to mention is that by having your own Business you are also your own most reliable employee and 'your own hours?' Its all of them. It is all of the hours.
You get home from a day well worked, pour a glass of wine and....phone rings. Emergency.
or
Employees didn't show up. Emergency.
Or even something as simple as the next day's tasks and responsibilities swirling around your mind as you try and go to sleep but ye ol' treacherous brain refuses to STFU and leave you in peace.
I dont mean to discourage you, not at all. I've had my own business for about 13 years now, I'd never go back to a regular job, but I wont lie and say it was easy either, but I also did it by myself and didn't have a partner.
I had a partner once. Never again.
Partners....make things tricky.
If you have questions, I'll happily answer as best I can.
