Please take a look at the National Restaurant Association’s Official Response to the State of the Union Address. I would like to add two personal notes to this story.
I started my working life at age 14 at a Jerry’s Subs and Pizza in Columbia MD. I think it is fair to say that at the time I wasn’t the most productive or highly skilled employee, I was uncoordinated and goofy. I would never have made that first paycheck or been able to get that first job at Jerry’s if they couldn’t afford to hire and train me.
In 2008, I managed the Franchise Assistance Program at a large sandwich chain. My job was to offer business coaching and assistance to franchisees who were struggling. Remember how franchise chains work. When you see the Subway in your local strip center, it isn’t owned by the Subway corporation with it’s billions of dollars in revenues and resources; it is owned by one of your neighbors.
