This will definitely provide valuable information to someone thinking of going into a franchise business. This applies to independent restauranteurs too. If you find a potential spot that you want to lease/buy, speak to existing restaurant operators around the area to get a sense of how much traffic flows through during the day.

My husband has also worked in the restaurant industry (albeit on and off) since his teens, and has a number of ex-colleagues who have become franchisees. They have some great info as far as the reality of sales, importance of location, data regarding economies of scale when they own more than one store, the reality of the support they're given, etc. I think another vital tip might be to chat with current franchise owners.
