You have operated one of your property sites as a prototype for the Franchise Operation. The properties are all in upscale locations that support the Restaurant’s thematic Desert profile.
The new site has been test marketing the Franchise concept with the patented dessert brand, “Brain Freeze,” that savory specially formulated dessert treat created by Sally.
The desert has become so popular that many customers have requested extra take-home orders.A substantial number of patrons have even asked if the dessert would ever be sold separately in markets. The dessert menu has a strong sales position in overall restaurant sales and generated a cash flow that supported the entire overhead of the test model.
Your company is now ready to launch the Franchise Operation, but you must first prepare

As a part of the Restaurant’s long-range marketing plan, you invested in the purchase of national property locations of the now-bankrupted “Sahara Desert Dish” franchise properties. Based on your Discussion and Strategic Plan results, you both agree that it’s time to go nationwide with the company’s patented dessert brand, “Brain Freeze.” Examination of the company’s financial position, you now have a healthy portfolio of investments, product revenue, and cash on hand.
The Restaurant’s dessert menu has produced an exceptional revenue stream. These products can easily be marketed as a standalone venture. The company portfolio includes the Sahara Desert Dish property purchased in anticipation of this day. The properties are all in upscale locations that easily support the Restaurant’s thematic Desert menu.
Looking Sally straight in the eye, you state, “It’s now or never, we need to get that Franchise Division going.” Sally was taken aback by the use of her statement, inquiries whether the operation will interfere with her entering the third Gold Star competition. You reply, “If Wolfgang Puck can open up gourmet pizza shops, that’s the only incentive we need to startup our Desert franchise operation.” Sally fires back, “You’re the one studying business law! Why did it take you so long to bring it up?” Sally continues, “Start working on the documents, and I’ll get started on creating the franchise operations menu and food handling processes.”
In your Discussion, you covered all of the eventualities companies face in expansion periods. The initial investment in the bankrupt properties has positioned the growth in a prime position. The commercial paper securing the properties is almost paid off. Converting the properties into a new enterprise will reduce the carrying cost and increase the current revenue streams by a minimum of 20%. Franchise Licensing Fees and property leasing rentals will initially bump revenue by approximately 35%.
To start your review, first, research the requirements required to establish a legally recognized Franchise operation.
