Dunkin-Donuts and Baskin-Robbins (plus some others) are from the same family of owners who are in for it for ROI (return on investment) for THEMSELVES, not ROI for the franchisees.

I owned and operated a Baskin-Robbins franchise for 12 years.

They are not the only ones who have this business model. Very few of the more well know franchisors think of the franchisees first, and themselves second.

My advice is simple.

Pick a franchise system which appeals to you, first.

Then, speak to former and present owners.

It is far better to buy an existing franchise than to establish a new one.

Remember a franchise is not a guarantee of successful business or of making lots of money.

A franchise is simply a license to use a name. You will get what you pay for, nothing more.

Ciao!

Considering how low the prices of the merchandise you will be offering for sale as a Dunkin Donut franchisee, I wonder how many years return on investment will be? I don't personally think that P500k will cut it. Will the P500k cover the renovation, equipment, training? Ballpark figure it will cost around P5Mn. I suggest try Mang Inasal - cheaper alternative - it was around P2Mn last year in terms of franchise fee.

mang inasal is owned by Jollibee already, expect jacked up franchise fees

I have not seen much of Mr. Donuts lately.

Their coffee was way better than that of Dunkin'.

Donuts,- almost the same.

Could also be a cheaper option.....

12K:boom:

personally for me OB, I will not invest sa DD. I don't have details to back up my assumptions pero I think matagal-tagal mababawi yun investment mo meron ka pang overhead expenses.

I mean for P500k, sigurto kiosk size lang na DD makukuha mo.
