If you are looking for information on the Patrice & Associates franchise business opportunity, Patrice & Associates franchises or Patrice & Associates franchising, then you have come to the right place.
This Franchise Is A Great Home-Based Business!
A career helping people make their next career move can be highly rewarding, both personally and financially. As a Patrice & Associates franchise owner, you are a recruiting manager with your own defined territory. You work to connect our client companies (some of the nation's leading chain restaurant and hospitality groups) with qualified management candidates. You can use your expertise in the hospitality field to help others find new careers and enjoy the benefits of working from home with flexible hours.
For many, it's the best of both worlds. You have independence and control over your own business, but you are also backstopped by the experience, resources and relationships Patrice & Associates has built over 20 years as one of the nation's leading hospitality recruiting firms. This means you have built in clients, a nationwide database of candidates, access to all the major job boards - and experienced colleagues training and supporting you at every step.
Your success is our success. The way we interact between the candidates, client companies and recruiters provides a tight network of support even though we are all across the country. The secret of our success lies in fostering that support so everyone in the equation wins and we are all successful.
Traits of Successful Franchisees
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
