\"franchise\"<\/a>Fornino chef Karl Wilder, writing for HuffingtonPost.com on \u00abHow To Franchise With Integrity\u2026 and Control,\u00bb discusses a recent experience that gave him new insight into how a franchise may adapt and grow in diverse cultures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Known for his three artisanal New York City pizza establishments, Wilder was recently given the opportunity to consult with the Magnolia Bakery franchise to create a caf\u00e9 menu for new stores in the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chef Wilder presents a list that would benefit any current, or potential, franchisers and franchisees:<\/span><\/p>\n

Retain control.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abJust like a co-op, retain the right to charge an assessment for additional costs for work done in the interest of the franchisee,\u00bb Wilder writes. \u00abThis might be additional staff training, special menus or product development for a specific market.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Own your name.<\/b><\/p>\n

Wilder cautions franchisers about the world’s culture of imitators, and writes, \u00abIf you don’t protect the rights to your name worldwide, there is nothing to stop China from opening under the same name and creating similar food.\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

Be responsible for your food.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abIf you are famous for your tacos, make sure they source ingredients with the same integrity you do,\u00bb Wilder advises. \u00abYou can even specify brands and drop ship products that are not locally available.\u00bb\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, franchises must learn to\u2026<\/p>\n

Adapt for local markets.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00abThink globally, act locally within your markets,\u00bb says Wilder, who is currently working with Fornio CEO Michael Ayoub to develop non-pork soppressata, pancetta, and prosciutto for markets that forbid pork. Again, Wilder, \u00abIf you are going into Key West, you need a conch on the menu, if headed into San Francisco, a vegan, gluten-free version of your product would be very appropriate.\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit often.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00abCheck the integrity of your franchises. Taste the food. Engage in additional staff training if needed. Never be a negligent parent,\u00bb Wilder writes. \u00abAs your family of restaurants grows, the amount of careful training and supervision needed grows as well.\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

Have fun.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, he asks, \u00abHow exciting is it to have something that other cities or cultures want to share?\u00bb and concludes, \u00abEnjoy your expansion!\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n
