As the credit crisis and the economic downturn begin to bite on Main Street America, restaurant row is in for a shake-up. For the first time in nearly two decades, the $550 billion restaurant industry has suffered stagnant sales this year, creating painful cash-flow problems for restaurateurs who can't get credit lines to cover investment and operating costs even as food and labor costs have risen sharply. That's made it harder for chains and independent eateries alike to upgrade equipment, hire new staff and renovate facilities. "The credit crisis is having a devastating effect on nearly every segment of the industry," says Aaron Allen, CEO of the Quantified Marketing Group, an international restaurant-consulting firm. "This is the death knell for a number of restaurant chains."

Everywhere you look jobs are being replaced by new technologies and automated systems. We book our own airline tickets online. We fill our own gas tanks and pay at the pump. Touch screens at the neighborhood deli allow us to punch in our sandwich and beverage order. We can pick up a rental car and check into and out of a hotel without ever interacting with any of the providing business concern's employees. And don't even get me started on automated voice call-directing systems.

Before I answer your question I think a bit of historical background is important. Our economy is where it is today because we chose not to learn from what we did in the past. I remember after the bubble broke following the dot-com meltdown we were faced with similar questions. And we moved through those troubled times to what became one of the best environments for the growth of small business and certainly franchising. It is a fact of life in our economic marketplace that business cycles happen. Business cycles in the United States have always produced a beneficial cleansing although living through the corrections is always painful in the short term.

The FTC's new Franchise Rule "permits a franchisor to provide information about the actual or potential financial performance of its franchise and/or franchisor-owned outlets." Does this mean it is game-on for providing financial performance representations (FPRs, formerly known as earnings claims)?

With the Amended FTC Rule mandatory as of July 1, Franchise Update asked franchisors in different industries, and of varying size and maturity, for their thoughts on the pros and cons of using Item 19 of their FDD as a sales tool. Short answer: great idea, and a real competitive edge—as long as the brand is doing well and you keep it legal. The devil, as usual, is in the details.

The franchising continues to grow, not only in size, but complexity—and in recent years, a huge part of that is attributable to multiunit, multi-concept franchising. Today one of every two franchise operators has more than one location. And really, why not? If the cookie-cutter approach works in one location it will most likely work in another, and another. In fact it really boils down to a simple numbers game: the more sales and revenue generated, the more profit potential there is.

We are a nation of worriers. And lately, when it comes to fretting about the capital markets and the economy, it seems we have elevated worrying to an art form.

A few weeks ago I found myself at a conference in New Orleans speaking to a few hundred college recruiters. The brands represented in the room were well-known: Shell, Geico, Valpak, Wal-Mart, Enterprise, Jaguar, Boeing.
