Growth Strategies: Independent growth versus franchised
Denver, CO (RestaurantNews.com) New and emerging restaurant concepts that currently operate as independents will have the chance to make strategic decisions about their future growth at the National Franchise Institute’s new Growth Strategies program.
The two-day program, which will take place in Denver on January 25-26, 2016, walks restauranteurs through the pros and cons of continuing to grow as an independent and then applies the same pros/cons approach to growth as a franchise model.
“There are a lot of similarities between growing as an independent versus growing as a franchised concept,” says Carolyn Miller, founder of the National Franchise Institute, “yet the differences are very distinct and the early-stage decisions you make can have long-lasting and far-reaching consequences.”
Together with a team of licensed attorneys, accounting and tax professionals, and other licensed business and franchise experts, the Institute’s Growth Strategies program presents unbiased, fact-based information so restauranteurs are able to make the best growth decision for the concept they have created, the stage they are currently in, and the growth projections they have identified for their brand.
“After explaining the differences between both options, we switch gears and provide details about the similarities so a personalized roadmap for each restaurant concept begins to take shape, regardless of which direction its founder chooses,” says Miller. “We understand how important growth decisions are for restaurants. Our programs encourage restaurant founders to pose ‘what if’ scenarios and ask devil’s advocate questions so they know what to do and why, or, equally as important, what not to do.”
Growth Strategies topics include:
“Creating a new restaurant concept is very exciting,” Miller concluded. “Growing it successfully is the icing on the cake.”
