Franchises that are not worth your hard earned money $$$.

[_Qwerty_]

for quality of food.. i think overpriced ang Spiral..

Sa Circles last year naka 50% off sila 1250 na lang..

What I missed is Cafe in The Park.. there was a time nung late 90s early 2000s na yan ang in place for buffet.. dami ko nakasabay na senator dyan.. ngayon parang malungkot na madilim and konti na lang food..

Survey lang.
During the franchise expo, I was enticed to invest my savings on one franchise.
But due to the hassle of getting permits from Government and Mall Owners, my wife and I decided not to pursue our ambition to leave the corporate world.
Blessing in disguise, those who availed the franchise(s) did not do well.

I will not mention the franchises names but below are the products that they sell.

1. Takoyaki
2. Mango Grahams
3. Fries with Drinks on a Cup

Possible reasons

1. Those takoyaki's are not authentic. Taste is different and the ingredients are mostly vegetables.
Original takoyaki has a strong flavor of squid. Still love the old "samurai" takoyaki.

2. Not advisable during cold weather months. Price is too much for just a simple mango, ice cream and graham.

3. Taste & Price. Although the competitor fries is a bit pricey, people specially children still like the taste and texture of the fries made by Potato Corner.

Pinag-usapan namin ng wife ko itong same topic last night as she plans to have a business din.
(lumaki akong nasa business ang both parents ko and as of now, I know its not for me)

For me, franchise is a name and business na naki-ride ka.
Magtatayo ka ba ng sarili mong Fried Chicken? or just spend 22M on a KFC Franchise?

2nd, kailangan may tiwala ka sa brand... Mahirap magfranchise ng Zagu kung Milk Tea pala gusto mo

Last, if you go into a franchise, may business plan/model na sila so no need to defend yourself kung gusto mo ng stall sa SM

As for the Takoyaki - no idea kung anong taste ang gusto ng Pinoy (I guess sweeter side?) pero Osaka and Tokyo nga magkaiba Takoyaki si I'm not sure how to sell it locally... And Tako=Octopus
