Does anyone know someone who runs a subway franchise (or similar type of franchise)? How's the ROI? How many hours per week does an owner generally put in to make it successful?

edit: Humm... no unvote option. Accidentally gave myself a 3.

A guy I worked with owned a Dunkin Donuts franchise--he said the parent company is extremely unforgiving in terms of margin on the ingredients you have to buy (ie, allows for almost no waste).

A franchise is less risky than opening an original restaurant, but the restaurant business is extremely difficult. More than 50% of restaurants fail in the first year.

So I'd personally say you should be prepared to eat, sleep, live, and breathe your venture in order to make it successful. When you open your second, third, and fourth outlets will be the time to roll back the hours.
