Franchises such as Domino’s, Pizza Hut, or KFC have already teamed up with robotics companies and are working towards using robots and drones for improved delivery and customer service. But before we take a closer look at some relevant examples, it is convenient to stop for a moment and understand what a franchise is, how it works, and what’s in it for the franchisee.

 

Franchising – a two-party journey to business transformation and success

The franchise system is a two-party method of distributing goods and/or services.  On the one hand, we have the franchisor who brings to the table the brand and the business system. On the other hand, we have the franchisee who will have to pay franchise royalties and fees to do business under the brand and business system of the franchisor.

What’s in it for the franchisee? Well, besides the trademark and the products and/or services, the franchisor puts at the franchisee’s disposal a well-developed and ready-to-use operating business system that includes training, marketing, advertising, and business advisory support, quality control, etc.  What the franchisor basically does is help the franchisee live up to the brand’s standards and customer satisfaction levels.

 

But not all is milk and honey for the franchisee. It will be up to the franchisee to manage all the daily operations to the franchisor’s expected standards. Because, after all, the brand’s reputation is the most valuable asset any company has.

What’s in it for the franchisor? Business growth possibilities, brand development, enhanced visibility, and economic benefits from royalties and fees are only some of the advantages of franchising a business model.

 

All in all, franchising is a ‘commercial marriage’ that can only function if both parties fulfill their roles.

Now that we have seen how franchising basically works, it’s time to take a look at some interesting franchises based on robotic technologies. And, who knows, maybe we can provide you with the business idea you were looking for.
