Scotty Milas' All Things Considered Franchising Podcast w/ Dan Rowe - Founder & CEO of Fransmart
In this episode of "All Things Considered Franchising," host Scotty Milas interviews Dan Rowe, founder and CEO of Francemart, a leading franchise sales organization specializing in emerging food brands. With a successful franchisee and franchisor background, Dan brings a wealth of operational expertise to the franchising space. He is also a co-managing partner at the Kitchen Fund and Fran Invest and serves as a National Restaurant Association board member.
Dan is known for identifying and bringing in successful brands and focusing on making franchisees successful. Dan shares with Scotty his insights on the franchising industry and discusses what it takes to be a successful franchisee and franchisor. He emphasizes the importance of operational excellence and building a company that can self-fund and generate generational wealth. Dan also highlights the need for franchisors to invest in training and supporting their franchisees to ensure success. Dan tells Scotty, "Franchisees share their success secrets all the time. There's really everything a franchisee needs to succeed already in franchising."
Scotty and Dan also discussed the qualities of successful franchisees, the importance of following the franchisor's system, the role of operational management in franchising, and the profitability of food brands. Dan explains, "The ones who are really good at operating are the ones who make all the money. The whole question is, how do I build a company that I can sell for $10 million?" Dan also introduces some of the brands in his portfolio, including Brooklyn Dumpling, Taffer's Tavern, and Curry Up Now. He discusses their unique aspects and potential for success in the market.
Key Takeaways:
-Successful franchisees often start with limited financial resources but focus on building a company that can self-fund and generate generational wealth.
-Franchisees need to staff their businesses for the sales they want and focus on replicating the franchisor's system rather than trying to make changes.
-Franchisors must invest in training and supporting their franchisees to ensure their success and build long-term value for their company.
-Food brands can be highly profitable, but it's important to find brands that require less labor and have high sales per square foot.
