When is the right time to start hiring staff for your franchise?

Although owning a franchise is comparatively easier than starting your own business, it doesn’t mean you don’t require any effort and help. This means you can’t run your franchise business successfully alone.

According to Jim Laganke, the president of a popular restaurant franchise in the United States “Stewart’s All American, as your franchise business grows, you’ll need more employees to assist customers. However, most of the new franchisees have no idea when is the right time to hire help. They either hire a lot of staff members in the initial stage when there is no need or get help when it’s too late.

If you’ve recently bought a franchise business, then hiring or managing employees might be a new and a bit difficult experience for you. Therefore, Jim Laganke is here to offer you guidance to know the right time to start hiring help for your franchise.

Here’s when you should consider hiring help for your franchise business.

You have more work than you can manage - Of course, during the initial stage of your franchise business managing most of the tasks is easier. But as your business grows, then the number of tasks also increase, and at this time, it’s quite challenging to manage everything own your on. If you notice piles of work each day and it seems almost impossible to manage, then it’s time to hire help.

The quality of your services or products is suffering - If you started to get complaints from your customers about the quality of your products or services, then it’s clear indicator you need more help. Please keep in mind, managing a franchise business alone is not possible, especially if your franchise gets a lot of customers on a daily basis.

You can afford to hire more staff
- If your business is attracting a lot of customers, you can eventually see improvement in your business sales. This means you can think about growing your franchise business and you can definitely afford to hire more employees.

In closing

If you hire employees at the right time, you’ll be amazed to see the difference it can make to your business and your life.
