One way to earn a living without being bossed around is to be your own boss. And when many companies are on the verge of closing shop and unemployment is on the rise, the food industry remains one of the more formidable markets one can invest in for the simple reason that food is a basic need.

People will always need to eat and with the pace of life picking up, and the projected growth in population forecast , there has never been a better time to start. There is definitely an opportunity for an independent fast food retailer to grab a slice of the profits as many people are fed up of the traditional fast food franchises.

I would definitely avoid going down the traditional route of selling juicy burgers, fried chicken, hot dogs, fries, milk shakes & soft drinks. This segment of the market is already well catered for and you will find it difficult to improve on the existing outlets already available. There has also recently been a backlash over fast food outlets selling unhealthy fried food.

Going into the food business entails careful consideration of human resource training, marketing, purchasing, site selection and other. So get a good and trusted franchiser to provide you with all the support you need to gear for success.
