Bar Grill Pub Franchises

While the popularity of these businesses means lots of choices for you, it also means lots of choices for consumers. In other words, lots of competition. It can be difficult to stand out unless your brand differentiates itself well. But that doesn't mean you should avoid this segment. Competition is a normal part of business, after all. However, you should choose carefully, making sure that the personality of the brand you choose is a good match for your market.

Understand The Costs

Outfitting any full-service restaurant is relatively expensive, and in the pub, bar and grill business especially you want your customers to linger. That means you'll need to offer plenty of seating and an inviting atmosphere. For that reason, bar and grill franchises have some of the highest startup costs of all restaurant franchises.

Another factor unique to this segment is alcohol. Serving alcohol means appropriate licenses, legal compliance, expensive inventory, and the need for good inventory control. Legal compliance can take on surprising forms in some cases. Bar cards for servers and ensuring underage patrons aren't served are fairly obvious, but it doesn't always end there. Florida, for example, requires that beer and liquor vendors be paid timely (typically within seven days). If they aren't, the state can yank the establishment's liquor license. Be sure you have a good handle on the added complexities of alcohol service in your chosen market when browsing bar franchises for sale.
