Boscos is known as a first class restaurant. Guests can choose from a wide variety of appetizers, salads, entrees or gourmet pizzas. Their famous pizzas are created from handmade crusts of wheat flour, olive oil, and a measure of their hand-crafted beer, topped with only the freshest imported and domestic toppings then baked in our brick ovens. The list of delicious entrees is a joy and a surprise. The shining star is Boscos' signature item, fresh salmon baked on a cedar plank in Boscos' brick oven. Or select a delicious double cut pork chop or a prime cut of steak cooked to perfection.
Boscos was founded as a comfortable neighborhood gathering place that offers great food, accompanied by their own special craft brewed beers. Their hand-crafted beer is served with pride. Their franchisees will be able to serve Boscos hand-crafted beer brewed from the Bosco microbrewery in Memphis, TN or they may choose to brew their own beer at their franchise location.
Franchising Tips and Facts
Franchising opportunities provide brand recognition, management and administrative systems, and a proven business model to small business owners. In theory, this should result in Boscos franchises having higher success rates than non-franchise business opportunities. But in practice, franchises can and do fail.
How much can you make if you own a Boscos Franchise? By law a franchise salesperson cannot provide you with an Earnings Claim, unless it is included in the disclosure document. There is no legal requirement that the franchisor must provide you with an Earnings Claim, however some franchisors do provide it. If the franchisor has chosen not to provide it, then it remains important to contact other franchisees listed in the disclosure document. Other Boscos franchisees can answer many of your questions. Many franchisors will also require you to visit their headquarters before signing the agreement, so that you can both get to know each other better. This is known as Discovery Day.
Be sure to ask about marketing programs (if any) that are offered to Boscos Franchisees. If your franchise contract requires you to make contributions for larger scale advertising and marketing programs, try to find out how the franchisees participate in decisions on the programs, campaigns and budget management. You want to make sure your money is going to good use, and it's being managed properly.
When considering whether or not to invest your money in a Boscos franchise, be sure to ask if you will be required to purchase products and supplies from the parent company. If so, compare your cost to the local retail prices of the same goods. There have been instances in the franchise industry where the price from the franchise company for goods was higher than the price of the same goods in local retail stores. Selling anything under these conditions would make it quite difficult to keep your prices comparable with your competitors.
If you are interested in buying a Boscos Franchise, then you will most likely be requested to complete a formal franchise application, which will involve typically a credit check and sometimes a background check. If you meet the franchisors guidelines, then to move forward then by law the franchisor is required to send or provide to you a disclosure document, known as a Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC). Read the UFOC carefully and have your lawyer go over it as well, since it will include a vast amount of information on the franchise such as: history of franchise and its key principals, financial statements, litigation, franchise openings/closings/terminations, franchisee contacts, franchise agreement, requirements, and more.
