It's a $200, 000+/yr salaried job. I'd take it.

[HunterWillis]

One major benefit compared to the typical franchise model: You have very little downside. You're not shelling out $500k+ on construction of a building. If sales slip, you're not on going into the red to pay a mortgage or salaries.

Plus, the parent company's goals align with the operator's goals.

Contrast that with Red Lobster - whose parent company made decisions to make their fishing business more profitable while hurting the restaurant business. Or the stories of many chains who make significant money off of their monopoly agreements on things like paper goods - which could often be sourced more cheaply.

Four KFCs in my city closed in the last year after struggling for years. Those employees have nowhere to go.

A decade+ ago, the owner of a local Quiznos franchise lost his shirt and his home when the company made terrible decision after terrible decision.


The CFA model certainly doesn't have the unlimited potential you see other places, but the barrier to entry is much lower and the potential losses are very small.

I guess the main reason you should never buy a chick fil a franchise is because it's not a franchise... and you CAN'T buy one!

[antcaruso]

Let me get this straight. You can apply to be a franchise operator, but there is no guarantee you would be in your home location or a reasonable area within?

[GhostGrind]

Chic Fil A needs to stop calling what they do franchising, because it is not franchising. You are buying yourself a job.

I don’t understand the part where you have to “open new locations for a minimum of 2 years”? What does that mean? Open chick-fil-a locations around the US? Thanks

[transienttom]

I’m about to be approved.
I make 60k per year minimum in passive income already and I’m bored doing nothing.
This is probably a good fit “for me”.

Why does everyone think this is bad?

[KungFury]

Having gone through the interview process and in the end rejecting the offer, you get to take home 50% of net profits/losses (your first year may be rough and may not have any $ coming in).

[TexAg]

Yeah. I’d take one in a heartbeat. Low year is around $300K. More enjoyable job than I have now making around half that money.

[purpleblue]

Is there any other franchises that you shouldn’t buy that are similar?

[johnlee]

So how does chik til a benefit from making people operators

[Genia]

It doesn't sound bad to be one of their employees, however, it would be nice to know there are some benefits involved such as 401K.

[AwesomeKeyComics]

There is a lot of wrong information in this video. There’s no requirement to move and open other people restaurants. You interview for a specific location.

[wileecoyote]

Chic Fila has wholesome and pure employees and customers in high class areas.
Popeyes in h00d locations

[travisb]

You don’t want celebs to endorse it. Why do we need a celeb to tell us it’s good food? We don’t care about their opinions.

[Mav]

The owners are just glorified GMs. They can get paid well, but you MUST work i the restaurant EVERY day. And you are NOT ALLOWED to have any other business.

[gailfelice-cassas]

I was hoping that I could hiring manager so I wouldn’t have to be there six days a week. I don’t hear anything about that.

[MarkSmithhhh]

Shit good luck getting a franchise...there's like a 10 year waitlist

[Lokie-cdhw]

If you don't own anything, what does the $10, 000 pay for?

[Cesare]

"Owning", and i use that term very loosely, a Chic Fil A is overated. You have to wait, if you are selected, 10 years to get one. Making 300k per and have to be there every day when compared to owning a McDonalds and potentially be making millions a year being a passive owner. Its a no brainer. "Owning" a Chic Fil A is not attractive whatsoever.
