When you think New Orleans, the first thing you picture might be Mardi Gras—but the second should be daiquiris. After all, what other frosty mixed drink better embodies the bon temps feel of one of the nation’s most spirited melting pots? New Orleans culture lends itself perfectly to delicious daiquiris; specifically, <a href="https://fattuesday.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-low-operational-expenses-and-high-profit-margins-make-new-orleans-original-daiquiris-a-turnkey-business-opportunity-2711871" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fat Tuesday</a>, and its sister company, <a href="https://yourtuesday.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-low-operational-expenses-and-high-profit-margins-make-new-orleans-original-daiquiris-a-turnkey-business-opportunity-2711871" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">New Orleans Original Daiquiris</a>.&nbsp;That means a compelling business opportunity for prospective franchise owners, both in New Orleans and beyond. <a href="https://nolaoriginal.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-low-operational-expenses-and-high-profit-margins-make-new-orleans-original-daiquiris-a-turnkey-business-opportunity-2711871" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">New Orleans Original Daiquiris</a> has not only an offering that evokes vacation vibes, but also a turnkey model which translates to streamlined, scalable operations.Just ask Scott Marks, a legacy franchisee who has been with the Fat Tuesday/New Orleans Original Daiquiris family for the past 26 years and worked for Fat Tuesday’s corporate team for nearly a decade. Marks opened his first New Orleans Original Daiquiris location in Laplace, Louisiana back in 1993. Since then, he’s grown his operational footprint to 14 locations—10 Fat Tuesdays and four New Orleans Original Daiquiris—all in Louisiana.“The simplicity of operations definitely caught my eye initially,” said Marks. “It was fairly simple to run, but also a fun and upbeat atmosphere to work in.”That’s because New Orleans Original Daiquiris leverages a smaller buildout than a traditional bar. It also boasts its signature proprietary daiquiri mix—including the brand’s infamous 190 Octane—that’s ready to serve once loaded into the mixing machines. According to Marks, “The daiquiri product itself is pretty simple—operators purchase it in cases so you can do larger batches for volume,” all without breaking a sweat.This model also means no prep stations, no full-service staff and a need for only minimal training. “Unlike other restaurant or food concepts that require servers, cooks and hostesses, our concept is able to operate with two or three employees per shift, allowing for an extremely low labor cost,” said Director of Sales Paul Nugent. “The simplicity of the concept allows for a small store footprint with high profit margins. You basically have one product that you serve 14 different ways.”From the perspective of franchisees, that’s a good time, indeed.There’s yet another element that contributes to the turnkey opportunity and positions franchisees for success: franchisor support.“With over 35 years in this business, we have learned what works and what doesn’t work,” said Nugent. “Our franchisees can tap the knowledge we have obtained over the years and apply it toward their operations. And again, by offering one key product that is available in a variety of flavors, we are able to streamline the operational process and provide insight if any challenges arise.”Marks echoed this sentiment.“[Throughout my career], anytime I had a problem with something, the corporate team was always quick to help resolve it or to give me the tools to make things easier,” he said.Finally, the impressive brand buzz that Fat Tuesday and New Orleans Original Daiquiris organically generate—just check out the latter’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/neworleansoriginaldaiquiris/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-low-operational-expenses-and-high-profit-margins-make-new-orleans-original-daiquiris-a-turnkey-business-opportunity-2711871" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">fan-centric Instagram</a>—helps to keep visitors coming through the door. That means franchisees don’t need to devote time to exhaustive marketing initiatives.“We are a well-known regional business that millions of visitors and locals enjoy each year,” said Nugent. “It’s hard to find social media pictures of parties, tailgates or gatherings in our area without a NOOD cup in the background.”Turnkey business model, meet frosty fun and franchisee success. Now that’s being in the business of good times.For more information on franchising opportunities with New Orleans Original Daiquiris and Fat Tuesday, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://nolaoriginal.com/pages/franchise-info?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-low-operational-expenses-and-high-profit-margins-make-new-orleans-original-daiquiris-a-turnkey-business-opportunity-2711871" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://nolaoriginal.com/pages/franchise-info</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://yourtuesday.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-low-operational-expenses-and-high-profit-margins-make-new-orleans-original-daiquiris-a-turnkey-business-opportunity-2711871" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://yourtuesday.com/</a>.&nbsp;
