Building a QSR unit, chronicling in public

[qsrbuilder @qsrbuilder]

Gave my franchisor an earful today about how they over promised sales with limited support, ballooned the build out requirements, and now have stuck franchisees with dozens of units that don't work.

Do I have any RE investor followers on this app?

Looking for a RE partner for specialty real estate as part of a SMB M&A deal in Dallas!

I tried using ChatGPT+ to create a chart of what my restaurant's daily sales pattern looks like for a typical Monday. I gave it a CSV with each order's timestamp and $ value.

...after a lot of errors and frustration, I'm back in Excel making the charts myself.

My franchise does not do much sales reporting and I wish they would.

Do other franchises share trends?

Things like:

Weekly or monthly Sales YoY by location type

Sales mix changes

Volume/price trends

What are folks using for payroll at fast food/QSR? Gusto? QuickBooks? Doing it themselves?

[qsrbuilder @qsrbuilder]

@FlurrysMarket @sloancapital Any tradeoffs?

Does it play well with QuickBooks?

That's all for this month. Happy hunting!

It is also worth noting:

Restaurants do not close only for bad reasons. Sometimes, they put a couple kids through college, created a nest egg, and it is simply time to retire.
