Franchising has always been about more than profit. For me, it’s about people — and more specifically, my family. My father was one of the original Subway franchisees in our region over 20 years ago. We built the business side by side, and that experience has shaped how I think about entrepreneurship, relationships and leadership to this day.

The way people find and connect with food has changed over the years; Gen Z, especially, is driving that shift. They discover new spots online, make decisions fast, and care just as much about the story behind what they’re eating as they do about the food itself. That shift has made family-owned businesses think differently about what it means to stay relevant.

Knowing how to cost a dish is one of those “absolutely must-have” skill sets for restaurant owners. It’s like knowing how to make a schedule, do inventory, or cover a section of tables if a server calls out sick and you’re shorthanded. It’s just part of the job.

For many restaurant owners, delivery has become critical for profitability, especially as customer demand increases. Unfortunately, due to strain on resources, most restaurant owners no longer believe they can offer their customers a positive direct-delivery experience. Third-party apps have become so entrenched in consumer habits that many operators worry it’s no longer even worth trying to offer delivery on their own.
