So you want to be in the restaurant business! That's Great!
You may have some background in the cooking / restaurant
field, or some prior business experience, or just the working
world, yet you're a little uncertain as to how to proceed.
That's the way I felt, but I took the plunge anyway!
I was in no way prepared for what happened to me! If you
could have told me that I would have to close my doors of
my original business after just three months, I would not
have believed it! But it happened, even after 6 years of
careful planning. What went wrong? Simple, in all the other
businesses I was involved in, I was there to run and control
them, this one I wasn't. And the simple truth is... if you can't
control your operation, chances are you're going to fail…...
So what's the answer? One solution is a Dan's Deli
license agreement. It is effective, inexpensive and just
makes good sense. With a one-time initial fee, and NO
percentage of your future earnings, you're in total control of
your operations. The only thing that would cause you to lose
your license agreement is if you should engage in any illegal
activity, or improper business practice that you would be
associated with that would reflect negatively on the name of "Dan's Deli".
Our concept is simple, functional and profitable. You simply
purchase one of our light weight all fiberglass concession
trailers with a pre-existing Dan's Deli set-up design in
place, or customize our design to make it uniquely yours.
The design will be yours, however, we would be happy to
give you some ideas based on our years of experience.
Ultimately the final design decision will be yours. As to where
and when you set up business, the list is endless! The best
part is that all the Dan's Deli benefit from each other's
exposure.
By using the business name on your card at festivals, fairs,
carnivals, or street vending, you will add to the overall
visibility of all Dan's Deli License owners (i.e. all
advertising for each other.)
As an example, when someone buys a sandwich from a
Dan's Deli vender at a festival in southern Ohio and
then sees your stand in central Ohio and remembered how
great that sandwich was, they will be tempted to try one of
yours. Of course you may not sell all the same exact items
as other Dan's Deli venders sell, but maybe one of your
specialties, say Dan's Deli ice cream catches their eye.
That's the beauty of this concept, you own it, and you control
your own products and inventory. The image you convey is
that you are a part of a chain of Dan's Deli found all
over Ohio and spreading in many other states as well! Just
think of it, small enough to control, yet the look of a major
chain!
If this sounds like the way you would like to run your food
establishment, keeping the control yet looking like a major
chain operation, just contact us and set up a appointment
for a consultation. If you would prefer to phone in your
license agreement evaluation form, we will personally take it
over the phone. When it is approved, you will be notified and
a meeting will be set up. Upon signing the license agreement
and payment of the initial fee, you will be ready to join our
expanding family of Dan's Deli…..
What are you waiting for, come join our family!
And remember... "Nothing ventured nothing gained."
