Personally I would like working with a franchise that provided too many details than a speculative start up resteruant that has no clue at all. I do far too many of the latter. Bath me in useless detail please! I don't like franchises, dont get me wrong, I did a set of 6 stores for a franchise, after the first one it was clockwork, they were all the same... Boring! But it is pretty satifying to do a nice high class resteraunt, and after years of doing them, I know how to milk them for the info I need. There are also GC's that specialize in them and that helps a whole lot!
