FROM CREW MEMBER TO FOUNDER: How Ordinary Workers Build Businesses Through Systems, Franchising, and Grit - Softcover
Synopsis
He started on the restaurant floor. Today he builds franchise brands. This book is the playbook in between.
What does it take to go from washing dishes in the back of a kitchen to founding your own franchise brand? Pankaj Kumar spent more than 27 years finding out, from training at the Taj Group of Hotels in India to working with Pizza Hut, Domino's, Burger King, Subway and A&W Restaurants across Singapore, Dubai, Australia, Europe and America.
From Crew Member to Founder is the honest, practical story of that climb, written for anyone ready to move from a job mindset to an ownership mindset.
Inside, you'll learn:
- How to start thinking like an owner while you're still an employee
- What global restaurant brands do differently, and how to borrow their systems
- Practical lessons on restaurant operations, brand building and growth
- Where the opportunities are in franchising, fast-casual and new restaurant models
- Why resilience, systems and adaptability matter more than starting capital
- The setbacks and turning points, from launching cloud kitchens during COVID-19 to creating his own franchise concept
This book is for you if you are:
- A restaurant or hospitality worker who wants more than a job
- Thinking about buying a franchise or opening your first restaurant
- An operator or manager ready to build something of your own
Pankaj believes entrepreneurship should be open to anyone willing to learn, work and persevere, not just the wealthy few.
If you've ever wondered whether someone like you can build a business, start here.
