What Does a Service Industry Franchise Owner Do?

Purchasing and running a service-based franchise location means that you are also liable for the success of that franchise location.
As part of the buyers agreement, franchisees pay a percentage to corporate and get a streamlined service model and branding guidelines. The franchisor takes care of marketing, menu design, further instruction, conferences, and problem-solving for all its franchisees.
