Opening a sandwich restaurant franchise is a great option for those looking to go into business for themselves. Jon Smith Subs franchises stand out from other brands for lots of reasons, an important one being that we’re part of United Franchise Group (UFG), a franchising powerhouse. Since 1986, UFG has exceeded industry standards for training and supporting franchisees. That’s why Jon Smith Subs franchisees don’t need any prior experience running a restaurant to apply. Still, there are a few qualities we look for in every franchisee. See if you have what it takes to open a sandwich restaurant franchise.
These Qualities Set Franchisees Up to Succeed
- Hardworking: When you open one or more Jon Smith Subs franchises, you’ll be able to enlist a staff to manage day-to-day operations. Still, getting a new restaurant up and running requires hard work. We’re looking for franchisees who are willing to put the time in, alongside our team, to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
- Ready to Learn: One of the best reasons to choose a franchise like Jon Smith Subs is that we’ve been in business for years. We’ve been perfecting our processes since 1988, and know what it takes to run a profitable business. Our franchisees should be ready to learn and open to mastering this time-tested system.
- Self-Motivated: When you open a sandwich restaurant franchise, you’ll be the one who enjoys the majority of the profits. That said, you’ll need to be personally invested in ensuring your restaurant meets its goals and grows its customer base. Our experts will be there to provide you with support, but franchisees who excel go above and beyond to bring in new business.
