“One of the things that’s great about being part of the Roosters family is the other franchisees in the system. I can’t say that I’ve ever worked with a better group of individuals. They’re smart, they’re energetic, they’re really committed to the business, and it’s not very often that you find that kind of cohort to associate yourself with.
One of the things that’s great about this for me is that I don’t deliver the service. I’m really running the business, and I let really great, talented people deliver the service here for me. That allows me to come in and be the mayor of the waiting room.
I answer the phone, I sweep the floor, and I’m very happy just being in an assistant role rather than delivering the service myself.”
- John Santanella, Franchisee — Wellesley, Massachusetts
