Sushi n' Wine Roundtable- 09.06.2026
About
Our next roundtable topic, ‘Profitability in a High-Cost Environment’, addresses a reality many franchise businesses are currently facing— profitability isn’t getting easier, and the pressure is being felt at every level.With labour expenses rising, rent increases becoming more common, and supplier costs continuing to climb, franchisees are being asked to do more with less. Margins feel tighter, decision - making feels riskier, and short-term fixes can sometimes create longer-term problems.
This facilitated roundtable provides a practical, peer-driven space to openly discuss what franchisees can actually control in today’s operating environment—and how to protect profitability without sacrificing wellbeing, team culture, or long -term sustainability.
Together, we’ll share real experiences from across the franchising community and explore grounded strategies that support smarter decisions, stronger operations, and more resilient businesses.
What We’ll Cover:
• What franchisees can realistically influence when costs keep rising
• Smart operational decisions versus reactive short - term fixes
• Managing labour, rostering, and productivity without burnout
• Protecting margins while maintaining customer experience and staff morale
• Practical ways to strengthen financial resilience in uncertain conditions
This session is ideal for franchisees navigating tighter margins, franchisors supporting network performance, and leaders looking for practical solutions rather than theory
Who Should Attend:
Franchisees, Franchisors, CEOs, Franchise Managers, Business Development Managers, and anyone responsible for franchise performance, operations, or profitability.
