The year that has passed is the year of fast food. Even though there was a huge move toward more sustainable and plant-based diets, fast food did not see its end. If anything, fast food proved to be stronger than ever. The year 2020 certainly feels like the best time to take a slice of this profit pie. To get started on that, here are some franchise ideas that you can consider:
Food Carts
What the last decade showed us is that people are busy with needing to work multiple jobs or study while holding a full-time job. Some are even trying to start their own companies. These are the kinds of people who will look forward to food carts on their way to work because carts are often inexpensive but are highly accessible. They offer good food, whether it be hot dogs or tacos, without a long ordering and checkout process. Position your food cart in the best location, and your returns will be enough to franchise another food cart in a couple of years.
Food on the Go
Pizza by the slice, burritos, milkshake, and even the famous avocado toast-all of these can be offered throughfast-food franchises. Because they are familiar with most consumers, they will sell like hotcakes. They fill the hungry stomach and the random craving, and they certainly fit into anyone’s schedule easily. Even a small stall can be enough because you don’t need extensive cooking and food preparation to keep the business alive. Thankfully, the franchise also takes care of the training, so you will learn everything that you need before you open up shop.
Desserts
Children love desserts. Parents, who are looking for an affordable but successful way to reward children, love desserts. Young adults wanting a less serious meal would go for desserts. Sometimes, when people feel nostalgic, they want desserts, too. You have a good market just waiting for your latest fast food shop, and frankly, if you choose this, it’s hard to go wrong. Stick to the classic flavors if you are to serve ice cream. But go ahead and be innovative if you’re in a more artsy or millennial-dominated neighborhood. Children and millennials alike love the fun pastel colors that have defined the past decade, and you can still take to that design trend in 2020.
The Classics
Bagels, pretzels, churros, pizza (yes, again), and coffee are some of your business options if you don’t want your venture falling apart because of the changing trends. These have been around and are the favorite of many, no matter how many rainbow grilled cheese sandwiches or charcoal ice cream trends come and go.
Your starting capital will be in good hands if you go for a business that is guaranteed to draw in crowds simply by serving good products even if you don’t rely on pomp. Social media can truly bring in first-time customers if you have a trendy product, but they will sooner give their attention elsewhere. This is not something that you have to wrestle with if you can keep your customers returning.
There’s a lot that you can turn into a business if you consider your market and neighborhood. Get your pen and paper out and start listing your options.
