01
What ownership involves
A franchisee is responsible for their location: hiring and leading the team, maintaining product and service quality, managing labour and inventory, reviewing financial results, and following Smashberry’s brand standards and systems.

Background and time commitment
Experience in restaurants, retail, hospitality or management is an asset. Above all, we seek people who can lead a team, follow an operating system, and commit the time and resources the business needs.
You may plan to manage the store yourself, work with an operating partner, or hire a manager. If you are seeking absentee ownership, explain how you would ensure effective oversight: we evaluate each proposed management structure individually.
