My ideas about price promotions in the restaurant industry are that they are a double-edged sword. For most restaurant franchisees, the obligations imposed on them by their franchisers seem endless. However, the area that remained out of bounds for franchisors was to "set the price". That's until the Subway franchise makes the practice famous with the Five Dollar Footlong. It seemed that wherever I went, the impending five-fingered hand announcing that the fast food giant's promotion was in my face.
As most of us have come to learn, very few companies sell products at manufacturer 's suggested retail price (MSRP). Franchise restaurants are no different. Fast food restaurants (QSRs) have always used the price to attract customers to their restaurants by creating a compelling reason to use them. Many franchise restaurants expect their franchisees to participate in special promotions, but in general there is an opt-out option such as "in participating establishments only". Subway's fast food price is what we call a Limited Time Only (LTO) promotion in the QSR, but in the case of Subway's $ 5 grant, the promotion lasted until its end. end. reintroduced last year. In addition, the company's relentless advertising campaign has made it extremely difficult for some franchisees to avoid participating without disappointing their customers and risking sending their customers to the subway by offering the $ 5 promotion.
Slice in Profits
Franchisees are challenged today to be profitable. Considering high rent, increased cost of food and increased mandatory labor costs in addition to royalties and advertising costs; the five-dollar footlong sliced in those profits. A higher volume may have resulted in higher fees for the franchisor, but higher labor and labor costs for the franchisee may have represented more problems than its value.
According to USA TODAY, the current CEO of Milford, Connecticut, as of this month, franchisees can decide for themselves if they want to offer selected submarines for five dollars.
Haynes then added, "How can we help our franchises with a more regional value message, so that they can (have) a value proposition that fits their business model," Haynes said. "If you look at California, the cost of doing business is very different from that of Arkansas."
Customers will have to find other reasons
While all of this can make sense for franchisees, for customers, that's another story. For many workers, students and other budget-conscious people, the value (and pleasure) of picking as many veggie fillings and sauces created sandwiches more than just one. meal. Here in the New York area, everything for five dollars is a bargain. I believe Subway's loyal guest will miss the five-dollar promotion, but will continue to see the value of Subway, given that it's a "fresh made" brand message And the convenience of the sites.

Lisa Oak, founder of Oak Advisory Service, LLC, who worked directly with Fred DeLuca, co-founder and CEO of SUBWAY Restaurants for twenty-nine years, said, "Subway's 5-foot campaign was unique, ingenious and revolutionary!
Several years ago, this caused a remarkable increase in sales that has since run its course. I am confident that the company's executives and Subway franchisees are ready to launch new, cutting-edge initiatives to meet the company's current needs. "
While Subway continues to skid without its iconic leader Fred DeLuca, I'm sure we'll see more adjustments to the brand that has become the largest fast food chain on the planet.
