Social franchising, on a purely spiritual level, is a beautiful idea. On paper<\/a><\/strong>, I’m not so sure. Why is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because people with a lot of wealth, in this case, philanthropic investor partners- have their limits. Let me explain. <\/p>\n\n\n

Social Franchising And Everytable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everytable<\/a><\/strong> is a 5-year old grab-and-go restaurant business located in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their mission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

To transform the food system to make delicious, nutritious food accessible to everyone, everywhere.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That’s a no-brainer. And now they’ve decided to use the strength of the franchise model<\/a><\/strong> to make nutritious food more accessible. How? By empowering local entrepreneurs in cities across the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Next City<\/a><\/strong>, local residents who want to own their own business can apply to start an Everytable franchise. But here’s where the franchise model starts to get stretched to its limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanted: Desire And Talent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of Everytable, prospective franchisees don’t need to have an up front investment. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, unlike most franchise opportunities, would-be franchisees aren’t required to have a minimum net worth to qualify, nor do they need to have good credit. From what I can tell, the only<\/em> thing they need to have is the desire and the talent to start and grow a local food-service business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, there’s something else every franchisee<\/b><\/a> gets as part of their franchise startup package. Something crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something so non-franchise-y…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, what is social franchising?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Franchise Direct<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Social franchises are established by people who recognize a problem in society and strive to solve it by using the entrepreneurial principles that make up traditional franchising to create, organize, and manage a venture.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know what a social franchise is, you’ve got to see what Everytable is doing for their franchisees. <\/p>\n\n\n
