Work in the Restaurant Industry Without the Restaurant Hours
Owning a We Sell Restaurants franchise delivers the thrill of the restaurant world – soft openings, menu updates combined with high-stakes deals, passionate entrepreneurs, and multi-million-dollar transactions without the late nights, weekend shifts, or unpredictable lifestyle. Our owners are part of a professional, nationwide network that helps restaurant buyers and sellers achieve their next chapter. Each day brings variety—different clients, new listings, and the satisfaction of closing successful transactions—all within banker’s hours.
As a We Sell Restaurants franchise owner, you’re part of a respected brand known for professionalism, technology, and results. You run your own business while enjoying the support of a national system built for success. You’re not flipping burgers, you’re brokering futures. Each day blends strategy, technology, and human connection, all powered by the industry’s only Certified Restaurant Broker program and proprietary BOSS platform.
Morning: A Smart, Organized Start
Most franchise owners begin their day around 8:30 a.m. The first stop is the BOSS—our proprietary Broker’s Operations and Sales System. This technology gives you a complete overview of your business at a glance. This single dashboard consolidates every lead, listing, offer, and KPI. You’ll see new buyer inquiries that came in overnight, offers in progress, listings ready for promotion, and updates from the national marketing team.
Instead of juggling multiple tools or spreadsheets, everything is centralized. The BOSS streamlines the process from the moment a restaurant is listed to the day it closes. It tracks every lead, automates follow-ups, and provides real-time performance dashboards. No spreadsheets, no missed follow-ups. Just a prioritized action list before your second cup of coffee.
From there, you’ll plan your day. Maybe a seller is ready to finalize their listing, or a buyer has requested financials on a café you listed last week. You’ll prioritize outreach and set appointments, all before your first cup of coffee is gone.
The morning is about momentum. You’re not chasing clients; you’re managing a pipeline built from qualified buyers and motivated sellers.
Mid-Morning: Conversations that Build Confidence
By mid-morning, your day becomes interactive. You’ll spend much of this time talking to people, buyers, sellers, lenders, and referral partners. These are relationship hours. You’re on the phone, Zoom, or texting – moving deals forward with surgical precision
Real Scenarios from Franchise Pipelines
A typical morning might also include:
Each conversation moves your business forward. You’re helping restaurant owners navigate one of the biggest financial transactions of their lives. You’re not just a broker, you’re a trusted guide, a problem-solver, and a professional resource backed by a brand with unmatched credibility in the restaurant brokerage industry.
And because every franchise owner completes the Certified Restaurant Broker® training program, you enter each discussion prepared. You understand valuation, lease transfers, franchise requirements, and deal structure. You can speak the language of both buyers and sellers with confidence.
Afternoon: Action and Achievement
The afternoon is where deals take shape. It’s time to act—reviewing financials, preparing marketing materials, negotiating terms, and coordinating due diligence. Deals don’t close on hope, they close on systems.
You might spend part of your afternoon:
No two days are the same, but each one brings measurable progress. You’ll see deals move from “interest” to “offer,” “offer” to “contract,” and “contract” to “closing.”
What makes this process efficient is We Sell Restaurants’ proprietary technology and national support infrastructure. The BOSS integrates with marketing systems, confidentiality management, and transaction tracking—saving time, eliminating repetitive work, and keeping franchisees focused on relationships rather than paperwork.
Meanwhile, our national marketing team drives visibility for every listing, and the buyer database, over 150,000 strong, generates a steady flow of inquiries. As a franchise owner, you benefit from this nationwide exposure while building your own local reputation as the go-to expert for restaurant sales in your market.
Late Afternoon: Local Connections and Community Presence
By mid to late afternoon, many franchise owners shift to community engagement. This is the relationship side of the business—the part that grows referrals and builds credibility.
You might meet with a restaurant owner considering selling next year, or connect with a local lender specializing in SBA loans. You could stop by a restaurant supply event, chamber meeting, or networking lunch. These activities aren’t just social, they’re strategic.
Every local connection expands your reach. The more people know you as “the restaurant broker” in your area, the more listings you attract. Sellers trust you because you understand their business. Buyers rely on you because you deliver opportunities that fit their goals.
Our most successful franchisees make this part of their daily rhythm. They blend digital marketing with community presence, creating a strong local footprint that drives inbound leads over time. The smartest franchisees own their zip code.
Evening: Balance and Flexibility
By 5:30 p.m., your workday is wrapping up. Most franchisees take a few minutes to update notes in the BOSS, return any missed calls, and schedule the next day’s activities. Then, it’s time to log off.
There are no late-night service shifts or weekend rushes. There’s no staff to manage, inventory to track, or equipment to repair. You’ve worked in a professional environment, built meaningful relationships, and contributed to real financial outcomes for your clients—all within regular business hours.
That’s the We Sell Restaurants difference. It’s the restaurant business, without the restaurant hours.
Your Role: Advisor, Negotiator, and Connector
As a We Sell Restaurants franchise owner, your job isn’t to cook, serve, or manage. It’s to connect people and help restaurant owners sell their business and buyers achieve their dream of ownership.
You’ll analyze financials, prepare valuations, market listings, and negotiate contracts. You’ll partner with attorneys, CPAs, and lenders to ensure a smooth transaction. And you’ll do it all using proven systems developed over two decades of industry leadership.
Your work helps entrepreneurs’ transition successfully, whether that’s a retiree ready to sell, a franchise brand managing resales, or a buyer entering the industry for the first time. Every deal represents a new beginning for someone.
