Chain Leader:
Today, as our world seems to get smaller through computer technology and instantaneous communication, the option to outsource a wide variety of services is easier than ever before. In fact, there are very few restaurant operators today that don’t outsource. It’s a cost-effective solution that frees up operators to focus on managing and expanding their companies. Here are functions chains should consider outsourcing.
1. Equipment repair, preventive maintenance and facilities cleaning
Keep your equipment in top-notch condition and properly maintained by professionals without having to staff this talent in house. It’s less expensive to properly maintain equipment than to repair it.
Keep your restaurants in spotless condition by hiring an experienced cleaning service. Regardless of whether you have five or 50 restaurants, this service moves the responsibility for basic cleaning from your expensive hourly staff to a low-cost service with the same results.
2. Legal services including franchise development and sales
For small chain operators, legal and franchising (development and sales) are some of the most frequently outsourced services. As you grow, your dependence on a more comprehensive legal department will grow. But while you’re small, outsourcing these services makes a lot of sense. When you start spending upwards of $100,000 a year, you will probably bring the legal and franchising departments in house. Until then, outsource it.
3. Accounting and payroll services
Accounting and payroll tracking, computation, processing and management are some of the most frequently outsourced areas. Most restaurateurs outsource their accounting and payroll functions when they’re still one-unit firms. Very few operators handle the technicalities of accounting and payroll when their time is better spent managing the company. More.
