Your Management Experience As an entrepreneur, you likely have a wide range of experience in many areas of business, but franchise management may not be one of them. If you’ve managed a franchise before, taking over your responsibilities as a manager is likely to be relatively quick and easy. If you don’t have experience in this type of position, however, learning the ins and outs of management may take a bit of time. Lack of experience certainly is not a barrier to taking over the position, but you may want to hire someone else with experience to take over the job right away. Your Other Business Responsibilities Your hot dog franchise many not be your only business venture, meaning you have to spend much of your time looking after your other investments. In this situation, you’re not likely to have the time needed to handle every management responsibility, and you’ll want to find a professional you can trust to do the work for you. If, however, you’re just starting out as an entrepreneur and want to invest all your time and energy into your franchise, making yourself manager can be a valuable learning opportunity. Knowing how your hot dog franchise works from the ground up can help you find new business opportunities in the future. Your Hot Dog Franchise Goals Owning and managing a single hot dog franchise is reasonable, but there’s a possibility that your franchising goals go beyond a single store. If this is the case, hiring someone to handle the day-to-day operations of your storefront may be the right financial move. Your time can be better spent looking for potential opportunities to expand locally, nationally, or even internationally. Not everyone has the same ambitions for franchise ownership, so your unique situation will dictate the correct path forward. Your Personal Life Whether you’re a member of a family with small children or a single who loves to travel, there’s no point in owning a hot dog franchise if you can’t enjoy the financial stability and freedom it gives you. Sometimes this means maintaining a stable schedule as your own manager, and other times it means trusting someone else with managing your business so you can do what you want when you want. Only you will know if managing your franchise will fit your personal responsibilities and goals.
