Why buy a restaurant broker franchise?

Trying to figure out what to do next with your life?  Have you considered a restaurant broker franchise?  The We Sell Restaurant business model for restaurant brokerage is exploding and here’s why.

There are over 980,000 restaurants in the U.S. according to the latest Fact Book published by the National Restaurant Association.  At any given time 20% of those restaurants are for sale.  That’s a lot of businesses that need the specialized services of a restaurant broker to help them change hands.

At the same time, the popularity of The Food Network and all things “foodie” are driving unprecedented demand for buying a restaurant and that’s not all.

Industry research indicates that the next ten years will be the most active in franchise re-sales than at any time in our nation’s history.  Why?  Legacy franchises are now in their third generation of ownership.  They were launched by early adopters in the 50’s when the interstate road system gave rise to the franchise model.  These same franchise restaurants passed to the next generations in the 70’s or 80’s within families.  Now the grandchildren of those original owners hold the reins to the business.  They want to trade out of the old (Burger King, Arby’s, etc.) and into the new (Which Wich, Yogli Moglii etc.).  That means turnover in franchise restaurants for sale and for restaurant brokers, that’s job security.

Those aren’t the only reasons to buy a restaurant broker franchise.  Finding restaurants for lease is also on the rise as franchise and independents outsource their site location.   Gone are the days of staffing a real estate department.  It’s easier to ask the restaurant brokers to take on the project of finding new lease space for restaurants rather than employing someone full time.

For all these reasons, the field is growing.  We Sell Restaurants has developed the leading franchise model for restaurant brokerage in the nation.  We start with training and end with the B.O.S.S.© our Brokers Operations and Sales System©.

Selling restaurants is a specialized skill.  The We Sell Restaurants business model for restaurant brokerage takes every franchisee through a four week intensive training program and testing.  The successful completion of this course of study leads to designation as a Certified Restaurant Broker, the only such accreditation in the country. 

The B.O.S.S. © or Brokers Operations and Sales System© is the We Sell Restaurants proprietary software code that makes our brokers the most efficient and effective in the business. Our in house developed software tracks buyers, sellers, leads, listing activity and stores all information “in the cloud” so it’s available to our franchisees from an Ipad, Smart Phone or desktop.

Are you the right fit for buying a restaurant brokerage franchise?  The best candidates are:

Former Restaurant Owners

Face it.  No one knows the business better than someone who has operated their own business. The restaurant broker franchise is perfect for a former independent or franchise owner who loves the business but doesn’t want the hours or headache of owning a restaurant anymore.

Former General Manager or Regional Managers

If you ran a large concept or served as a Regional Manager you’re familiar with successful practices, standard operating procedures and the restaurant industry.  You’re a good fit for our restaurant broker franchise.

Outplaced Franchise Real Estate People

If you worked for a franchise doing site location and found yourself replaced by the restaurant brokers, we recommend you join our team.  You understand the business and know what site location is all about.  We’ll teach you to sell restaurants in our restaurant broker franchise model.

Franchise Salespeople

Successful franchise salespeople who want to try their hand at selling open and operating units rather than the “dream” of the next big franchise may also be successful candidates for our restaurant broker franchise.

The restaurant brokerage model is exploding.  We Sell Restaurants is fielding leads from all over the country for our services.  Why not join us in meeting this demand?
