No formal qualification is required although, in some instances, this may be an advantage.

The Franchisee should be a 'hands on' person who can pro-actively market his business, selling himself, the QSR concept and the brand, preferably, must be an 'owner-operator'.
Remember this
Different QSR models are created with different Licensed Operators in mind. Started in 2016, FOOD HUBS SA has a lofty goal:
To truly place Quick Service Restaurant ownership within reach of all!!
It is no secret that setting up a fast-food restaurant is an expensive affair – for many entrepreneurs, prohibitively so. In fact, a single restaurant could easily set you back a few million.
This is not the case with FOOD HUBS SA. Its unique model allows the doors of a QSR to be opened for a fraction of the traditional cost associated with a fast-food outlet.
There is a strong entrepreneurial spirit that runs through our brands and we have the utmost respect for entrepreneurs, both those who are starting out, and the well established. We offer the Franchisee 6 months from paying the Franchisor fee to setting up their QSR giving them sufficient time in which to get their finances and set up in order.
Think you're ready to become a restaurateur? As with any business, opening a restaurant is no easy task. It requires many tasks and responsibilities, from creating a menu and marketing your concept to managing staff and negotiating with suppliers, all of which can be stressful and overwhelming - we will by your side every step of the way!!
