Sushi n' Wine Roundtable - 18.02.2026
About
Our next roundtable topic, ‘The Franchisee–Franchisor Relationship: What Actually Works’, takes a practical, no-fluff look at one of the most critical—and often challenging—parts of franchising.Every franchisee–franchisor relationship looks good on paper. The reality? Communication, expectations, and trust are where things either work—or unravel.
This facilitated roundtable creates a safe, peer-led space for an honest discussion about what really makes franchise relationships succeed, and why even well-intentioned systems can experience breakdowns.
Together, we’ll unpack real experiences from across the franchising community and explore how issues can be identified and addressed before they escalate into conflict.
What We’ll Cover:
• What “good support” actually looks like in practice—not just in manuals
• Common pressure points where relationships start to break down
• The role of communication, clarity, and expectations on both sides
• Early warning signs of relationship strain
• Practical ways to resolve issues before they become disputes
This session is ideal for anyone wanting to strengthen franchise relationships, reduce friction, and create a more sustainable, collaborative franchise network.
Who Should Attend:
Franchisors, Franchisees, CEOs, Franchise Field Managers, BDMs, Master Franchisees, and anyone involved in franchise operations, leadership, or network support.
