\"food<\/a><\/p>\n

Believe or not, there are actually food franchise businesses<\/strong> that kind of stink<\/em>, and should be avoided at all costs.<\/p>\n

You want names, right? Like in the post I wrote about a certain coaching franchise<\/a><\/strong>? Well, you won’t be getting specific names from me this<\/em> time around.<\/p>\n

Correction.<\/p>\n

I need you to check out Shaq’s Big Chicken Restaurant<\/a>. I think there’s a future in that one.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ll be teaching you a few things about franchise opportunities<\/strong> that you’ve probably looked at already, but ended up scurrying away from like a field mouse that’s just sighted one of these bad boys…<\/p>\n

\"Hawk\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that you’ve, “digested” that, let’s move on to a few really important things that you need to know about some really stinky franchises that are presently being offered in North America….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Food Franchises Stink-Especially The Franchisees<\/h2>\n

Would you like to know where you can find a good number of franchisees that have a seriously unappealing smell?
\n 
\n\"Ollie's<\/a><\/p>\n

In franchise businesses that serve food: food franchises<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Only franchisees of food franchises know what I mean. Wait: let me add something to that statement.<\/p>\n

The family members of most food franchise owners know what I’m referring to, also<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I Have Real-Smelly-Real-Life Experiences<\/h2>\n

When I was 14 years old, I was an employed by the Golden Dragon<\/strong>, located in a historic office building near Cleveland, Ohio<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"brainard<\/a>
\n(Brainard Place<\/em>)<\/p>\n

My job title at the Golden Dragon was, “dishwasher<\/em>.” It was my first real<\/em> job.<\/p>\n

In hindsight, I should have put more thought into this career decision, as you’ll see below.
\n <\/p>\n

Because Of Multi-Course Meals<\/h2>\n

Chinese restaurants serve multi-course meals<\/strong>. Let’s translate that into what’s known in the world of restaurant dishwashing as, “pieces<\/em>.” Here are all the things that come back into the kitchen area after a typical meal at a Chinese restaurant;<\/p>\n

1. Teapot<\/p>\n

2. Teacup<\/p>\n

3. Teacup saucer<\/p>\n

4. Teaspoon<\/p>\n

5. Fork<\/p>\n

6. Butter knife<\/p>\n

7. Soup spoon<\/p>\n

8. Chopsticks<\/p>\n

9. Soup bowl<\/p>\n

10. Soup bowl saucer<\/p>\n

11. Appetizer plate<\/p>\n

12. Dinner plate<\/p>\n

13. Coffee cup (Maybe)<\/p>\n

14. Metal ice cream dish<\/p>\n

15. Dessert spoon<\/p>\n

16. Wooden Pu-Pu Platter (Possibly)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Except for a few optional items, every person<\/em> that eats at a Chinese restaurant uses everything I named up above. That’s a lot of dishes!<\/p>\n

I really should have said, “I’d like to think about your offer<\/em>” before I accepted my first job. (I guess the excitement got to me<\/em>.) I should have, “looked around<\/em>” a little more. Maybe I could have started out as a dishwasher in a burger joint. That way I would have only had to wash a dinner plate, a small side plate, and a Coke\u00ae glass. What an idiot.<\/p>\n

The number of dirty dishes that come back into kitchens of Chinese restaurants all over North America are astounding. Trust me<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And, boy did I stink<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

My clothes…my pores…everything on my body absolutely reeked by the time I left for home from a 7-8 hour shift. My poor parents; they had to pick me up from work. Seriously, I smelled really, really, bad. And, this smell would immediately be transferred to my bedroom if I walked into it pre-shower.<\/p>\n

I had to use freaking Lava soap<\/strong> to rid myself of the odor that was emanating from my body.
\n\"lava\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Smelly Franchise Owners<\/h2>\n

All franchisees that own, and work in<\/em><\/strong> food franchises smell after putting in a full day’s work. There is no getting around it. (Unless you’re a multi-unit food franchise owner who isn’t actually working on the inside of the business<\/em>.)  Like Peter Biro<\/strong>. He owns several food franchises. Read his guest post<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Smells aside, becoming the owner of a food franchise can be a great thing. If you’re<\/em> thinking of buying a franchise that serves food, it’s important to learn, (ahead of time<\/em>) as many things about the business as you can.<\/p>\n

If you do a thorough job on your franchise due diligence<\/strong>, you may become a franchisee who comes up smelling like a rose.<\/p>\n
