One client, Erik Lingren, is a Menchie&#8217;s franchisee and drives Uber driver on the side for extra cash. Between Uber and Menchie&#8217;s, Lingren figures he works roughly 50 to 65 hours a week, although he&#8217;s taken a hiatus from driving in the last few months to focus on franchise operation. Newly self-employed entrepreneurs using ride sharing to make ends meet seems to be a trend among the clientele of FranNet, a consultant firm headquartered in Louisville that offers education and networking for those looking to open a franchise. Not all of Tubridy&#8217;s clients are as outspoken about their new venture as Lingren. Many are used to demanding, but lucrative, work environments. They see Uber and Lyft as a way to maintain their lifestyles, he said. &#8220;It&#8217;ll never show up on their resume but it&#8217;s something to keep the house afloat,&#8221; he said. <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/business/career-workplace/2016/07/15/Fledgling-franchisers-use-Uber-to-make-ends-meet/stories/201607120016?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=pittsburgh-post-gazette-frannet-notices-new-trend-in-franchising-franchisees-are-turning-to-uber-to-help-make-ends-meet-5233" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to read the original article.</a>
