| Bar Louie | Seacrets | |
| Experience | Just as there is no cookie cutter location, there is no cookie-cutter franchisee. A company's objective should determine if a potential franchisee is a good fit. For franchisees looking to build on a unique culture, franchisees should be excited for the opportunity to customize. Someone who wants to expand quickly through a replication and repetition rollout approach will not deliver the guest experience that customers should come to expect from the brand. | *You or an operating partner within your franchise team must have significant foodservice and/or hospitality experience in order to qualify to become a Seacrets franchise owner. *In most cases, we expect franchise owners/operating partners to take an active role in daily operations. *Sales, customer relations, and supervisory skills, plus a strong work ethic coupled with honesty and integrity, are also important. *You must be able to meet the financial requirements for developing and operating a Seacrets business. |
