Although the pandemic may not seem like an ideal time to expand through franchising, restaurateurs who are willing to do the necessary preparations have a major opportunity for success.&nbsp;As <a href="https://1851franchise.com/unemployment-nears-15-percent-2713043">unemployment skyrockets</a> and more people sit at home looking for new opportunities, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/covid-19-and-high-unemployment-set-up-2021-for-franchise-sales-feeding-frenzy-2714528">interest in franchising is positioned to grow</a>. This creates an exciting opportunity for prospective restaurant franchisors. When it comes to the talent pool, there are many high-level restaurant executives who may have recently found themselves unemployed and who would make great franchise partners. There is also an unprecedented number of furloughed restaurant workers. In addition, the pool of qualified prospects may be growing, as funding for franchise buyers is available at historically attractive interest rates.&nbsp;Here are three areas that restaurant concept owners in a position to franchise should focus on.<h4>Diversified Revenue Streams</h4>Restaurants preparing to franchise will need to take an in-depth look at the business model and examine sustainable ways to <a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-have-franchise-brands-pivoted-during-the-covid-19-crisis-2712683#most-recent">increase current revenue streams or pivot to new ones</a>. Franchisees looking to invest in a franchise will be seeking out a franchisor who deeply understands the segment. For example, off-premises services, such as delivery, carry-out and curbside pickup, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/taco-bell-is-launching-a-mobile-focused-double-drive-thru-model-to-appeal-to-changing-consumer-demand-2713733#franbuzz">have been the saving grace of many restaurants during the pandemic shutdowns</a>. Others have invested heavily in <a href="https://1851franchise.com/why-loyalty-programs-may-be-more-valuable-than-ever-for-franchisors-2713680#home">online ordering, loyalty programs</a> or <a href="https://1851franchise.com/why-more-limited-service-restaurants-are-adding-seafood-to-their-menus--4480">limited menus</a>. A franchisor will need to analyze whether these alternative revenue streams will work at franchised locations.It is also important to keep in mind that some of the best ideas in franchising come from franchisees — they know their community and their customers best. For example, <a href="https://time.com/4053832/history-egg-mcmuffin-mcdonalds-breakfast/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=is-now-a-good-time-to-franchise-a-restaurant-2714653" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">McDonald’s breakfast was originally started by a franchisee</a>. Although it is important to be careful the franchisee does not go too far and damage the brand, the franchisor needs to keep an open line of communication and encourage franchisees to brainstorm ideas that can contribute to the bottom line.<h4>Financial Responsibility</h4>Restaurateurs looking to franchise need to be hyper-aware of their bottom line in recent months. The harsh reality <a href="https://1851franchise.com/national-restaurant-association-survey-finds-17-of-all-us-restaurants-closed-in-economic-free-fall-2714475#editorials">is that 110,000 restaurants have closed since the start of the pandemic</a>. Prospective franchisors need to assess where they are today and do all that they can now to contain costs while increasing revenue.In order to trim costs efficiently, a restaurant audit can help restaurant owners analyze where money is being spent and how it can better be contained to increase unit-level economics without impacting the quality of the brand. In addition, vendor partners may be more willing to negotiate right now and potential franchisors should proactively ask about discounts and favorable terms.&nbsp;<h4>Confidence in Safety</h4>Restaurant franchisors must consider that trust is more important than ever. If you don’t take sanitation and social distancing compliance seriously, your customers will be skeptical about the brand. At the same time, employees will need to trust their employer to keep COVID-19 concerns top of mind while training their coworkers to do the same.When it comes to establishing a franchise system, consider these factors at the franchisee level. This means updating the franchise operations manual and onboarding process to reflect the COVID-19 response. In addition, the brand’s expectations of employee behavior and training need to be clearly defined by the franchisor from day one.From both a franchisee and consumer angle, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/for-franchise-brands-an-updated-social-media-presence-is-more-important-than-ever-2713331">a brand’s social media presence is also a powerful tool in building confidence</a>. Restaurant brands in the franchise space can use their social media presence to showcase their <a href="https://1851franchise.com/balancing-business-and-compassion-during-the-coronavirus-crisis-2712857#most-recent">appreciation for community support </a>and their commitment to serve customers safely.By taking the time to focus on these increasingly important factors, future restaurant franchisors will position themselves for post-COVID-19 success. Along with the ability to cultivate a loyal customer base at a time when it is needed most, there will be an opportunity to tap into the growing number of prospects who want to join a well-positioned restaurant franchise.

Precision Garage Door Service, which is part of the larger&nbsp;<a href="https://www.neighborly.com/">Neighborly</a> ecosystem, specializes in the installation, maintenance and repair of garage doors.&nbsp;“We are proud to partner with management and the Burlington team to support continued growth by investing in people and operational excellence,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-fidler-6787143">Peter Fidler</a>, managing partner and co-founder of RF Investment Partners, said in the release. “The sector continues to present compelling opportunities given the essential nature of garage door repair, and we look forward to building on Precision’s strong foundation to drive long-term value.”This deal is part of the broader trend toward institutionalized multi-unit and multi-territory operators. Previously, franchising was largely viewed as the place for “mom-and-pop” businesses. And while franchises remain small, local businesses, the aggressive entry of private equity firms focused on operators (franchisees) rather than the brand (franchisor) is bringing new energy to small business ownership.Read the full release&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260312305776/en/RF-Expands-Residential-and-Commercial-Services-Portfolio-with-Investment-in-Precision-Garage-Door-Service-Franchisee">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

Artificial intelligence is changing how work gets done in industries ranging from finance and customer service to software development. As that shift accelerates, more professionals are asking which careers will hold up best over time. New research suggests the answer may be found in an unexpected corner of the economy: the skilled trades.<a href="https://www.anthropic.com/research/labor-market-impacts">A recent study</a> from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.anthropic.com/company">Anthropic</a> analyzing real-world AI usage across occupations found that the roles most exposed to automation are concentrated in white-collar, information-based professions such as computer programming, data entry and financial analysis. By contrast, many occupations requiring physical skill, real-world diagnostics and on-site service remain far less exposed to AI automation.For industries built around hands-on work - including plumbing, HVAC, electrical services and restoration - the findings reinforce what operators across the trades have long understood: while artificial intelligence can assist with planning and data analysis, it cannot replace the skilled technicians who keep homes and businesses running.<h2>The Limits of Automation in Physical Work</h2>The Anthropic research introduces a new metric called “observed exposure,” which combines theoretical AI capabilities with real-world usage patterns. While many digital tasks show high exposure to automation, a significant share of occupations still have little or no measurable AI coverage.In fact, roughly 30% of workers in the study had jobs with no observable AI exposure at all. Many of those occupations involve physical labor or real-time problem solving in unpredictable environments - the kinds of tasks that cannot easily be automated through software.Repairing a failing HVAC system, diagnosing a plumbing leak or troubleshooting an electrical panel requires a combination of technical expertise, situational awareness and physical presence. These factors make the skilled trades structurally different from many information-based roles currently seeing higher levels of automation exposure.At the same time, according to research outlets like the CSIS, the demand for skilled trades&nbsp;<a href="https://www.csis.org/analysis/genais-human-infrastructure-challenge-can-united-states-meet-skilled-trade-labor-demand">continues to grow.</a> Aging housing stock, expanding suburban development and increased homeownership have created sustained demand for professional home services across the United States.<h2>AI Is Augmenting the Trades - Not Replacing Them</h2>While the trades may be resistant to direct automation, that does not mean they are untouched by technological change. In fact, many service businesses are adopting new digital tools to improve operations, streamline scheduling and provide better customer experiences.Artificial intelligence is playing more of a support role in the trades than a replacement role. Scheduling tools can help optimize routes, cut down drive time and improve response speeds, while automated call systems can handle customer inquiries and dispatch requests more efficiently. Data platforms also give franchise owners greater visibility into business performance, helping them manage teams and improve service quality.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-clemente-b4244539/">Steve Clemente</a>, president and chief operations officer of trade brands at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.authoritybrands.com/">Authority Brands</a>, says this shift reflects a broader evolution happening across the home services sector.“Artificial intelligence isn’t replacing skilled tradespeople - it’s helping business owners operate more efficiently,” Clemente said. “Technology can streamline scheduling, improve communication with customers and give owners better visibility into their businesses. But the work itself still depends on trained technicians solving real problems in real homes.”<h2>Technology Supporting a Growing Workforce</h2>Authority Brands, one of North America’s leading home services franchisors, supports more than 1,000 franchise owners operating across over 2,700 territories through brands including&nbsp;<a href="https://benjaminfranklinplumbingfranchise.com/">Benjamin Franklin Plumbing</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mistersparkyfranchise.com/">Mister Sparky Electric</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://onehourheatandairfranchise.com/">One Hour Heating &amp; Air Conditioning</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://drymedicfranchise.com/">DRYMedic Restoration</a>.Across the system, technology platforms are increasingly being used to support franchise owners as they grow their businesses and manage complex operations.Digital platforms allow service teams to track jobs in real time, analyze performance metrics and communicate more effectively with customers. These tools help franchise owners scale their businesses while maintaining consistent service standards across markets.At the same time, the human element remains central to the industry. While Authority Brands continues to invest in technology tools, there is an equal emphasis on training and resources that ensure technicians are prepared to perform at a high level in the field. Diagnosing mechanical failures, responding to emergency repairs, and building trust with homeowners still requires the kind of judgment and experience that can only be developed through hands-on training and real-world application.“Technology gives operators better tools, but the foundation of the business is still the technician in the field,” Clemente said. “The trades combine technical skill, physical work and customer experience - and that combination is very difficult for automation to replicate.”<h2>A Career Path Gaining New Attention</h2>As concerns about automation grow in white-collar industries, the resilience of the trades is beginning to attract broader attention.Anthropic’s research suggests that many of the occupations most exposed to AI are also among the most educated and highest paid professions today - raising new questions about long-term job security in those fields.The skilled trades, meanwhile, are dealing with a different issue: not enough workers. Industry groups and labor forecasts continue to show a need for hundreds of thousands of additional technicians in the coming decade as veteran workers retire and service demand keeps growing.For many professionals exploring career transitions or business ownership opportunities, the trades are becoming an increasingly attractive option.“The home services industry has always been essential, but we’re seeing more people recognize the long-term stability it offers,” Clemente said. “These are businesses rooted in local communities, solving problems that homeowners will always have. Technology can make the work more efficient, but the demand for skilled technicians isn’t going away.”<h2>A Technology-Enabled Future for the Trades</h2>If anything, the rise of artificial intelligence may reinforce the long-term importance of skilled trades rather than diminish it.While digital technologies will continue to reshape how service businesses operate, the work itself will remain deeply human. Skilled technicians will continue to diagnose problems, install systems and maintain the infrastructure that modern life depends on.In that sense, the future of the trades may represent a powerful example of how technology and human expertise can work together.&nbsp;As automation advances across the broader economy, the industries that combine technical skill, physical work and customer service may prove to be among the most resilient of all.For more information on franchise trends, check out these related articles on 1851 Franchise:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847#stories">AI Is Reshaping Franchising: $100 Billion Valuations and Hyper-Localized Advertising</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/ai-unemployment-impact-white-collar-job-loss-2729492#stories">AI Could Push Unemployment to 20% — Fueling a Surge in First-Time Franchise Buyers</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/2026-layoffs-corporate-escapee-franchise-opportunities-2731323#stories">Mass Layoffs Are Destabilizing the Labor Landscape; Corporate Escapees May Turn to Franchising as Their Next Step</a></li></ul>

Research from Anthropic shows that hands-on careers requiring physical skill and real-world diagnostics remain far less exposed to AI automation than many white-collar professions. 

<a href="https://www.yum.com/wps/portal/yumbrands/Yumbrands/">Yum! Brands</a> is considering a potential sale of Pizza Hut and plans to close 250 underperforming U.S. locations, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/consumer-services/nyse-yum/yum-brands/news/yum-brands-weighs-pizza-hut-sale-as-portfolio-reset-accelera">recent article on Simply Wall St</a>. For the franchising industry, the significance is less about the stock and more about what it says about how large franchisors are managing brand portfolios in a high-cost operating environment.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pizza-hut-franchise-deep-dive-2722519">Pizza Hut</a> is one of the most recognizable names in franchising. If Yum! decides to sell it, that would be a notable shift for a company built on a multi-brand platform. For years, large brand groups have argued that operating multiple concepts creates advantages, including shared resources, stronger purchasing power and the ability to invest in technology across the system. A sale would suggest Yum! believes those benefits no longer outweigh the effort required to improve Pizza Hut’s performance.The planned closures may have the most immediate impact on franchisees. When a franchisor reduces its footprint, it can change how the brand performs in local markets. Fewer locations can mean less convenience for customers, which can hurt overall traffic. It can also weaken the effect of local advertising when there are fewer restaurants supporting promotions in the same trade area.Closures can also affect store-level economics in ways that go beyond the locations that shut down. In some markets, remaining franchisees may pick up some displaced demand. In others, customers may switch to competitors. The changes can also affect local co-op advertising budgets and, depending on how purchasing and distribution are structured, can influence costs tied to volume.The move comes as competition in pizza remains intense, with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-dominos-pizza-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2725506">Domino’s</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-papa-johns-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724607">Papa Johns</a> continuing to push delivery, digital ordering and value-focused offers. Simply Wall St notes Yum! has been rolling out its Byte digital platform across brands. If Yum! changes Pizza Hut’s role in the portfolio, it could also change where the company focuses its technology and marketing investment.For franchise systems watching from the outside, Yum!’s review is a reminder that growth is not always the main priority. Sometimes the bigger decision is whether a legacy brand can be improved inside a platform or whether it will perform better under a different owner and a different plan.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/consumer-services/nyse-yum/yum-brands/news/yum-brands-weighs-pizza-hut-sale-as-portfolio-reset-accelera">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

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.
