However, when the store is not profitable franchisees we held to blame for bad business management. The stress of making ends meet took its toll on many franchisees who realised the business they had bought into was not viable, due to the company policies, especially on labour costs and a perception that the head office was only concerned about the welfare of people the headquarters, whilst The Taco Company profits is growing, the selling price of tacos and other men items is getting lower due to high competition in the fast-food sector.
