Commitment, perseverance and a good initial investment: these are the necessary cards in the hands of an entrepreneur so that he can open a successful franchising bar pub. Excellence and desire to succeed are key elements when entering the world of restaurant franchising.

The approach is important

Among all the faces of affiliation in the field of catering, bars and pubs undoubtedly represent the easiest way to take to become someone but at the same time one of the solutions that require an immediate and correct approach to customers to make it. In fact, it is important to establish a fast loyalty relationship and to be able to manage, in the short term, exchanges and services of different types. Opening a franchised bar license or pub allows you to transform these needs into a source of income, making it possible to quickly recover the amount initially invested.

Different formulas for different places

Although on paper the opening of bars or pubs in franchising can be ideally equated, never as in this case different concepts of affiliation correspond to different club concepts. Why is this happening? It is the differentiation of the customer that creates this natural diversity and often the presentation to the potential affiliate of more formulas of entry into the network. In most cases there will be an initial investment by the entrepreneur that the franchisor will request not only to share the know-how and tools necessary to achieve success but also to allow access to supplies and a series of services in able to bring the entrepreneur to the top of the category. Pubs, depending on the type, could be linked to a low cost franchise formula,

Feasibility and exclusivity

When it comes to bar pub franchises, it is necessary to face the concept of exclusivity and feasibility: you cannot open a Food & Beverage store (regardless of its type, Editor's note) without being sure that there are real possibilities of success. Bars and pubs are affected by competition and need to be opened in places of high traffic and strategies that allow them to thrive. This means that during the meeting between the franchisor and the franchisee, feasibility analyzes of the place chosen for the opening of the business will have to be carried out, putting the characteristics of the affected area in black and white and carrying out a correct estimate of its characteristics to verify its peculiarities.

Duties of the franchisor

Open a franchise store, regardless of its type, means for the franchisee not only to find a brand that can meet his needs but also to "transform" into the ideal collaborator for the brand in question: this translates into being attractive for a collaboration also from a legal point of view.

The SAT course

A franchise in the restaurant sector requires, as announced, successful attendance of the SAB course. It allows registration with the Chamber of Commerce relating to the sector of interest and has a duration ranging from 100 to 160 hours in the classroom: it can be followed in provincial or commercial bodies in charge at a cost of about 500-800 Euros plus payment an additional 80 Euros to take the final exam.

It is important to know that the course can be replaced by a high school diploma in the hotel sector or by a university degree of the same type or alternatively by two years of service (on the last 5, Editor's note) as employees qualified for the administration of food and drink at Food & Beverage companies.

Attention to municipal regulations

Opening a franchised bar or pub can be simpler than expected from an affiliation point of view, but more complex from the point of view of the possibilities related to the regulations in force in your town hall. It is important to check, and in this almost always a support is given by the franchisor, if the Municipality is among those that issue limited-number licenses or not. There will be no problem if your municipality is one of those that do not limit their supply.

Turnkey formula: when?

Who wouldn't want to start their adventure in a "turnkey" bar in front of an initial investment? It is the most convenient formula for both interlocutors, both from a technical and economic point of view, but not the most obvious. This is because it is usually made available by the big brands specializing in catering or by those that offer unusual approaches, incorporating an exclusive, usually playful, service to the Food & Beverage business. And not all entrepreneurs feel ready to face the unknown of something they don't know how to control.

Pub franchise bar: for true leaders

The opening franchise bars and pubs can be a great adventure to live in the world of commerce, but it is a challenge for true leaders: managing a similar activity in fact calls into question not only the commitment and the desire to make of entrepreneur but also what the person's approach to the unknown is. Working with the public is not easy and a good formulation offered by the franchisor must correspond to franchisee intention on reaching the top.

Marketing and know-how must be treated to the extreme to meet the needs of customers who must be loyal, without taking into account their potential randomness: succeeding in this ensures the franchisee a net and constant growth in profits, perfect for recovering quickly time the initial investment regardless of the formula chosen at the contractual level. Commitment and constancy are those characteristics that will make the entrepreneur great, from every point of view. Success is at your fingertips, just grab it.
