He Worked LESS Hours But Made MORE Money, with Romal Shrestha
Q: What would you have to say for someone who is seriously thinking about going into this industry, restaurant industry, catering industry, cafe?
Firstly, it's not as easy as it sounds. It's not like you're going to open a restaurant and then you're going to be a millionaire the next day. You've got to work pretty hard, at least for the first couple of years. Get your systems in place, understand your numbers.

Q: If someone's sitting there right now and they've got one or two locations like I want to franchise and I want to end up with like 100 locations, how do they need to be thinking?
They need to be thinking about making sure the franchisees are highly profitable. That was always number one priority.
