We have literally hundreds of people a
month who enquire into Jasper’s about the possibility of becoming their own
boss in the food business world. Many of which (and this isn’t essential by the
way) come from a food or hospitality related background. I guess it makes sense
for people who are working in this industry, to stay in the area they are
familiar with when the time comes to take that next step up.

How to make sure you don’t fall into the trap of most food business start ups
Opening a business of any kind is a fantastic
venture for anyone to experience, and so many people have the dream of being
their own boss and being in charge of their own destiny and fortune. However,
the early stages of business start-ups, if not done in the correct way and
following certain procedures can have devastating effects before you’ve even
opened your front doors…
Having worked in the hospitality industry
for 16 years before my current job, I had the pleasure (in some circumstances)
of working for some big branded high street breweries and restaurants, as well
as many independent businesses along the way. Along my journey I noticed a
clear differentiation between how independents do things, to how the bigger
companies operate.
What to expect when you have your own food business
Welcome to the exciting and resilient world
of the food business… where no two days are the same and the only place in the
world you can have your cake AND eat it!
People love eating food and is something that
they will always need to do. Simply put, that is what makes working in the
world of food such a resilient and profitable market place. Not only that, food
is one of the few things that when delivered correctly and in the right manor
can put a smile on people’s faces and actually change how they are feeling. YOU
can make people feel fulfilled and happy! How great is that?
Why is it important to have a franchise agreement?
If you are about to become involved in franchising, you'll
soon come across a franchise agreement. These are often 40-60 pages long (sometimes
much longer) and deal with a wide range of different legal concepts. It is by
far the most important of the legal documents.
The importance of lead generation in your franchise
Lead generation is the process of making
new contacts which may lead to a sale or other favorable outcome.
Lead
generation is the blood source of your business or franchise. Cut it off and
your business will inevitably start to fade away and will eventually come to an
end. It is imperative that throughout the journey of your business venture you
proactively and consciously generate new business. It’s what we focus on here
at Jasper’s Catering Franchise.
Bobby's Top Tips Before You Buy A Franchise
Think about what you really want
Before you invest in any business or
franchise, it is absolutely crucial that you take some time out to stop and
really think about where you are at in your life and what’s driving
you to make this decision.
Ask
yourself, why is it that now the time has come for you to invest in a
franchise? What is motivating you to take this step and branch out? Maybe you
have kids who you want to inspire and leave a legacy for? Maybe it’s that you
really want more flexibility and time to enjoy doing the things you love? Maybe
you want a more luxurious lifestyle and a greater financial income?
Really
thinking about what you want and understanding what’s important to you, is the
best way to discover what it is that’s driving you to do this.
