As the Andy OnCall transition finishes,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-mueller-49127017/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=house-doctors-merges-with-andy-oncall-and-handyman-pro-moving-forward-in-a-cohesive-growth-focused-way-2720726" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Laura Mueller</a>, brand marketing manager, says most Andy OnCall franchise owners will be fully transitioned to the House Doctors brand in Q1 of 2023.“The merger has been slowly happening over the past year,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricky-conner-4100ba6/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=house-doctors-merges-with-andy-oncall-and-handyman-pro-moving-forward-in-a-cohesive-growth-focused-way-2720726" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ricky Conner</a>, vice president of House Doctors. “We’ve been creating the support materials and working towards getting all of the franchisees up and running on one operating system called Service Titan. That will be very, very good for us.”“As we unite these three brands under the Premium Service Brands umbrella, we’re building a strong foundation for the future of House Doctors,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-e-flick-0a15186/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=house-doctors-merges-with-andy-oncall-and-handyman-pro-moving-forward-in-a-cohesive-growth-focused-way-2720726" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Paul Flick</a>, CEO of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/premiumservicebrands">Premium Service Brands</a>. “We have a talented team working to systemize practices, create new marketing materials and techniques, welcome franchise owners into the network and reimagine the potential of the concept.”Throughout this process, the franchisor has worked to keep franchisees’ work as light as possible, fully providing new local sites, setting up Google business profiles, providing updated marketing collateral and more.While a visual refresh and branding consolidation across the brands will be powerful, Conner says the move to Service Titan is the primary differentiator the merger offers.“That’s our main driver because Service Titan allows us to have all of our data housed in one place,” he said. “All of our customer information, the job leads, estimates and data about the jobs themselves as they progress. What we’ve been lacking with prior CRMs is visibility for every franchisee.”Previously, many of the franchisees across the three brands were somewhat decentralized. As such, the strength of company culture and frequency of intrasystem connections varied greatly. Systems were not standardized across locations, technology was not being used consistently, and many marketing opportunities simply were not being taken advantage of.“A lot of the franchisees were still using paper and pencil to keep track of their projects,” Mueller said. “Our goal is to get them up and running with these new systems so they can leverage SEO, digital marketing and social media. There will be a lot of technology training and education on email marketing platforms, but our goal is to have everyone up and running on the same systems in Q1. Ricky is leading that front, making sure everyone has a plan, is trained, and we’re all on the same system so we can move forward together.”As franchisees begin to become more connected across the network, House Doctors is also looking to grow its business offerings, creating even more differentiators for franchisees in their communities.While House Doctors will continue to focus primarily on handyman work, franchisees will also be able to incorporate home improvement projects into their offerings. In addition to replacing a fan or ceiling light, franchisees can do other tasks like remodeling a bathroom or building a deck.“There are a lot more moving parts to home improvement, and we’re making sure our franchisees are ready before we take that step,” Conner said. “Once individual business owners feel comfortable, the ability to incorporate this second revenue stream into their business model will prove to be incredibly fruitful over time.”More on franchising opportunities at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premiumservicebrands.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=house-doctors-merges-with-andy-oncall-and-handyman-pro-moving-forward-in-a-cohesive-growth-focused-way-2720726" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;https://www.premiumservicebrands.com/</a>.

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential.

How Much Can Franchisees Make? A Guide for Prospective Franchise Owners

Building&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-do-you-build-a-franchise-business-plan-2717037">a business plan</a> is a crucial operational step for any entrepreneur. But how do I build a business plan for a franchise that complements the franchisor’s system while addressing the unique needs of a given location? In this guide with expert tips, you’ll learn how to craft a thoughtful, actionable franchise business plan.<h2>Start With The Franchisor’s System In Mind</h2>So, how do I build a business plan for a franchise? Well, avoiding repetition is a good start.“You specifically don’t want to duplicate what your franchisor is doing,” said long-time multi-unit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.solafranchising.com/">Sola Salons</a> franchise owner,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/haynes-chidsey-6a36a06/">Haynes Chidsey</a>. “There’s a reason why you join a franchise system and why you pay the fees and costs associated with it.”A strong franchise business plan should take advantage of the resources, marketing and operational systems that the franchisor provides (while utilizing daily experiences at the local level to help fine-tune what matters locally).<h2>Focus On Local Priorities</h2>A franchise business plan should be&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/strategicfranchising/how-to-build-a-strong-franchise-brand-presence-in-your-local-community-2729771">locally focused</a>. It should reflect the unique characteristics and needs of each local market. It’s essential to identify opportunities to attract local customers, build relationships within the community at the local level and tailor services to the regional preferences required by each market.“Be complementary to what your system provides,” said Chidsey. “Stay locally focused. That’s what I would say is key. Avoid mistakes by focusing on the magic.”<h2>Practical Steps For Building Your Plan</h2><ol><li>Assess Both Market And Competition – Build a thorough understanding of local demand, competitors and potential customer base. This will lead to more informed projections. &nbsp;</li><li>Define Financial Goals – Include startup costs, ongoing fees and revenue expectations in the business plan. Staffing, rent, marketing and working capital should all be factored in. &nbsp;</li><li>Leverage Franchisor Resources – Incorporate the systems, training and support offered by the franchisor (instead of reinventing processes). &nbsp;</li><li>Set Operational Priorities – Decide which areas require hands-on local management (as opposed to areas guided by the franchisor). Focus energy where it’s most impactful. &nbsp;</li><li>Review And Adjust – A business plan shouldn’t be static. So, track performance, adjust strategies and refine priorities as the franchised business scales.</li></ol><h2>The Takeaway</h2><a href="https://1851franchise.com/chapter-3-developing-a-franchise-business-plan-2722586">Creating a franchise business plan</a> is about balance. With a clear plan that integrates franchisor resources and local insight, franchisees can confidently move forward, knowing their businesses are structured to thrive. Leveraging a proven franchisor system to make smart, locally relevant decisions is key. By slowing down to go fast, and catering to the local trends or demands unique to each market, zees can more effectively build a roadmap and franchise business plan capable of delivering long-term success.Want to learn more about franchise opportunities on 1851 Franchise?
