Since Doherty could remember, he has always loved Kelly's Roast Beef. Their buttery roll filled with delicious roast beef, barbecue sauce, mayo, and cheese has been his go-to order since he was a boy.

Nobody was making or even thinking about a roast beef sandwich.

Look Under The Hood - Great Quotes in Franchising - Today's Great Quote in Franchising Comes from Mary Jane Riva, CEO of Pizza Factory. Mary Jane suggests aspiring entrepreneurs need to look under the hood before buying a franchise. Listen to this podcast to find out why. Partial Transcript Well, first, there are a couple of things. And one that as we're going through this journey ourselves from being a franchisee to the franchisor, it's understanding the roles of the franchisor versus the franchisee. That's important; what role are you playing versus the franchisor? And then, when you're looking at brands, the other thing for brands to me is really looking under the hood. Don't just look at all the stuff on the surface; dig down and see what extra charges there, you know, are they marking up stuff, you know, really evaluate a brand to a brand and not just the fluff kind of stuff you see on the top. And it's a lot of due diligence. But you know, ask the questions that will be once you're in there, you know, are they marking up the food product? Are they marking up advertising materials? You know, what are you paying? So, dig down and ask many more questions, and I would talk to many franchisees in the system and see how they feel about the franchisor and the brand itself. I would do a lot of due diligence with franchisees because they're the ones that are going to tell you.

An Evening w/ Margaritas Mexican Restaurant Franchise - According to the History Channel, Cinco de Mayo, is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army's May 5, 1862, victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War.

The battle lasted from daybreak to early evening, and when the French finally retreated, they had lost nearly 500 soldiers. Cinco de Mayo is widely interpreted as celebrating Mexican culture and heritage in the United States, particularly in areas with substantial Mexican-American populations. We thought a great way to kick in Cinco de Mayo was to play our interviews with the Margaritas Mexican Restaurant franchise opportunity.

Great Quotes in Franchising -Franchising is one of the greatest inventions for.. - Today's great quote comes from Art Coley of Alphagraphics. AlphaGraphics, Inc. plans, produces and manages visual communications for businesses at nearly 300 owner-operated, locally-based business centers worldwide. It is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the AlphaGraphics network. Here is part of the transcript. I tell you, Marty, you said something earlier, I was saying earlier about that nearly ten years of restaurant ownership. There were months, and we were not a franchise; there were months Marty where I begged for somebody to send a royalty check to if somebody could bring me some turnkey marketing programs if somebody could bring me some training solutions that were already ready to go for the employees and how to hire them and who is the right person, how to recruit them. Suppose somebody could bring me a process for creating more traffic at my restaurant or an operational workflow and checklist. Marty, I believe, I believe, and I've had people, great people like Bud Hadfield, and I can go down the list of just the names of people in my cell phone that I can call anytime.
