With all the comments I’ve read on the internet about franchisees problems with Quiznos….
I’ve one piece of sound advice: Get yourself an employed dayjob. Dont put $000,s of dollars (or pounds) into anyones business except your very own.
Self employment is difficult enough but when its done through a franchise you lose all the benefits of working for yourself.
You will likely have to commit to some heavy finance to get a franchise started, remortgaging your home, taking out a very LONG term loan. This is dangerous territory because if you find that your franchise is not doing enough regular weekly ‘take’ you will not be able to continue in business … full stop. Dont be fooled, your business will crash in a very short time.
If you run your very own business you start off small and then build up. If you are any good? success will surely follow. But if not you simply stop working for yourself and get a dayjob that pays you a salary. You haven’t lost your house, you dont even have the continuing loan repayments to make for 10-15-20 years. My brother in law is facing financial ruin after taking out a franchise
Always listen to your partner and family. Take your head out of the clouds over promises of guaranteed business success and wealth ..

Quiznos…no surprise to here of diminishing traffic…I stopped going years ago for a very simple reason, very simple; nobody would put mayo on my sandwich…I had to do it myself, find the little troubling packets of mayo, open the packet…figure out how to spread it evenly across the sandwich…and here’s the kicker; do this while handling business and/social meetings.

Sorry Quiznos…but in football, and business, if you can move the ball 10 yards…you get another 4 plays (sales), move it 10 yard, get another 4 plays (sales)…it is the last yard that gets you the first down…Quiznos was never able to get the first down over a simple omission in their playbook…give me a sandwich I want that doesn’t make me think about anything that might be omitted…do the thinking for me…give me what is expected…”no” is not a word in the sub-shop vernacular.

Check out In-N-Out Burger if you want a lesson in customer service…although privately owned…their model is barebones simple…employees are top-tier “people persons” and you have a great and carefree experience…for very little cost/effort…no mental energy required.
