@@LandoSuccess Thanks for responding back. I love their bacon deluxe burger 🍔. The food is always hot and the customer service seems to always be friendly.
As a current employee of CFA, I can say that the main reasons for it being so difficult is because of them preferring people that have worked with them for a longer period of time, and it being a Christian owned company. They have a very different system when it comes to hiring employees as well, as they want them all to get along as much as possible, so if you don't seem like you'd fit in personality wise, you probably won't get hired, even in kitchen. But that's one of the main reasons all of them are run with such a great amount of success, since everything and everyone flow together really well, and employees are all treated well too. Some of the questions that I was asked from the interview 4 years ago really had me scratching my head cause they were out of left field it seemed like at the time, but it was for seeing what I would talk about around other employees, and just seeing my personality. It's pretty interesting tbh all of the attention put into the small details, but at the end of the day, it comes back to their mission statement of showing God through the way we act and speak around other people.
I recently got passed the first step and I just submitted the more formal background application. I was shocked to have even gotten this far as a 21 year old college student it gave me chills. Now heres to hoping/praying that they move me to the next step. I will update my comment upon receiving news.
I work at CFA and it's a tough competition! But talking to my operator, it is completely worth it if you have the vision and goal to be an operator. Big tip to being an operator is to apply for their LDP program first. A 2 year internship where you are an interim operator and they watch you closely manage a team.
I second the LDP route. However it’s not an internship. It’s a full time job that requires you to be on the road traveling full time for 24-30 months. We have the most competitive application process. Last year, over 70,000 applicants submitted an expression of interest. 35,000 moved forward and submitted an application. Only 104 applicants were selected to become owner/operators.
@@kendradartey LDP is the goal! I am currently an intern at 02817, plan to be with my operator for another 3 years to continue development then hopefully apply for LDP.
It isn't that easy to get it. It's more difficult to become chick-fil-a franchise owner than it is to become a CIA agent I heard. I had $60K when I applied and got rejected. Happy with my trucking business I started that with 🙂

@@portonaz I don't quite remember the exact wording but it was somewhere along the lines of not having any business experience in the restaurant industry. But all the same they've chosen ppl without any prior restaurant businesses so I guess they have their own set of criteria to evaluate franchisee candidates
I think it's a great way to start out. For just 10k, you earn 200k, you stay for a few years, learn about franchising, save the money, leave and buy a franchise.
I think the 2 yr leader development , shadowing other stores, training deal being UNPAID is absolutely unfair.. During this time it's exactly like being an employee full time. Is it the same similar situation at other franchisee opportunity with their corporations, too?
Them giving you that restaurant for 10K with the condition that you have to be nice to people and work in the restaurant a couple of hours a month that's nothing I'll do that all day and smash those chicken sandwiches with that Polynesian sauce.
I am fourteen and I currently work at a CFA. I am hoping to get enough experience through many years of working to apply to run one. Seems like a lot of work, but with a little help from God it can be done, and done happily.
I applied.. got all the way to the questionnaire and got denied. It's unbelievable how tedious and rigorous they make it. Lots of well-qualified upstanding exceptional people are being denied.
You can also only have ONE store, as you said it's basically just a hard interview process and investment to be a Chick fil a general manager for $150-200k a year
@@felixvargas4981 if you had 3 stores I’ll highly doubt that you would be on TH-cam looking to see how much it cost to start a franchise that you have 3 of lol
My 2 chick-fil-A’s are owned by the same guy. David Daniel’s. Check it out. It’s in Carrollton Georgia. I feel it’s way more work than everyone thinks tho.
What about Whataburger? Currently there are zero in the Midwest that I know of and there are a lot of "Snowbirds" that spend time in the Southwest that could be a good customer base.
I definitely agree, this would work great for a lot of people. It’s just a misconception of what we think of when you franchise a big business restaurant
really? they have the best dang chicken sandwiches, nuggets, macaroni cheese, etc....EVER. yep. But the cons he mentioned is why they have such delicious food & therefore the best?
It's one thing to make a claim but a while other respect to follow it through. I love that you walked through this Lando. It's remarkable to see how many applications vs acceptances as well. You dove in and i appreciate that level of detail!
Having just started working at a CFA here in the Northwest Indiana area... (Lake County, Indiana) - I can tell you, I think a lot of them run differently but so far, I am not at all impressed and I'll be honest, I'm not even sure how the operator and his leadership got through the full process to the point of owning and taking on a brand new location, built from ground up for him. It's one thing when you're in an area where you've got a ton of homeschoolers and Christian college kids to pull from in staffing all your shifts but if you work at one that employs all the kids from "the hood", it's a completely different ball game and experience. I definitely don't want to own a franchise with them. When you get into the food & beverage industry, you sell your soul. You are there all the time if you're going to be a good leader. You are definitely there on weekends that come before a major holiday and weekends after too (think Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years...). The operator I work for is definitely a people person but he's more of a personality who's great at charming the masses but terrible at building individual relationships. He literally came through the kitchen the other day when everyone was already busting their butts for a hell of a Saturday lunch rush hour and started yelling that people weren't going fast enough. When asked if he could stock the soup to help keep the secondary line from having to walk away from a full screen of orders, he didn't even know how to work the soup warmer machine and it's no brainer science!! Better yet, he chose a leadership team that has never worked a day their lives in food and beverage and it shows... I have yet to see them actually jump in and help out in the kitchen where it actually matters. They jump in on the front line all the time because of course, that's so much easier... I'm really only doing this for a short term to help pay some bills but I damned well don't plan on making it a career - at any level. Having worked there now, I know for sure that I would not want to be an operator or owner. I'm looking to create more passive income opportunities than to work 24/7. I'd rather make 100k and have a life than to make 200k and never have the time to do things with my family. It's definitely not for me. Though I wouldn't mind doing it for 5yrs or so but eh... I'm just not impressed.
Thanks for the info.i just got a job there .I had no idea about all the hype. I have nothing and $15 is not near my best payday but I need a job .thanks.
@@LandoSuccess ahh, looking more into it. I’m more like you, I want my money to work for me. Not the other way around. I’m looking for something but I don’t think chick fil a is the right something for me. Good video 👍
wow, youre a jetblue FA? im a pilot for united and also heavily invested in stocks. Always wanted to open a Chick fil A in Puerto Rico since there isnt any there yet. Just so happened to come across your channel.
There is a tiltok video going around that says YOU CAN OWN A CHICK FIL A FOR $10,000! Thank you for sharing this video because you see how busy they are and think you can make so much! Not knowing there are major down sides to that and the .00233333%...... damn. You can't own any other businesses wow.....
You mentioned that one investing into the company only makes $200k a year and that’s true but, that is your salary. CFA charges a 15% royalty fee and all profits are split with the operator 50/50. $200k is the salary only.
You work full time in your franchise. Franchisees are operators so you do not get to kick back and collect a check. Alot of networking and marketing. You do all of the things a small busibess owner would do but you don't truly own the business. You paid to use their name and work under their rules. In my opinion, 200k is a great return on 10k but not worth it if you dont get to own it. Part of that agreement, chik fil a corporation can cancel the franchise for any reason and your done.
This is great information! Wow! I learned a lot in this one video lol you got me over here thinking!!! I love Chick-fil-A! I’m a pizza girl too! Thanks for sharing your gift/knowledge!!!!
The $10,000 isn't the hard thing. Applying to be an operator and being selected is extremely hard out of the thousands of applicants Chick-fil-A gets every year
Thank you Mr. Orlando I was trying to be a franchise owner and I'm glad that you gave me the opportunity to learn more about franchise Chick-fil-A is out of my question 711 is out of my question and I'm moving on checking out your rescue videos
I’m going to plan to do it once I reach 10k subscribers, and I want some dope stuff bc most youtubers merch looks like it’s terrible quality 🤣 so I got you soon appreciate it
What if someone wants to start a chick fila and has no money, so I fund the person and in return get a stake in the company. Then as the business grows, the person I funded is the operator and I collect passive income on my stake in the business.
That money is only the license. It will cost you a million plus to get one opened and need to have a large net worth and cash in the bank. All franchise license fees are in this range $5000 to $25000.
@@LandoSuccess please check into that if your buying a franchise and see if you don't have to pay for building and equipment, unless your doing a joint venture and only get part of profits.
I heard a month ago Chick Fil A is opening a few locations in New Orleans which is Popeye's headquarters or I guess you would call it a stronghold. LOL
Thanks for this info. I was curious what that initial $10k could get me. I don’t want to spend that to own a job. I’m looking to be hands off eventually with a business. I’ll keep saving and looking for the right opportunity for me. Chick-fil-A isn’t it.
@ Matthew Rees Don’t get me wrong the financial gain sounds great. I just value my time also and I don’t want to work 40 hours per week for the rest of my life. I want a business that my employees run for the most part and that will give me residual income after I retire. Hence the desire to be hands off at some point.
@@tashagarland9163 you look relatively young why wouldn’t you be able to work there for a few years and build up the business and after a few years be in the background?
I looked into CFA years ago and they pretty much have to pick You as a franchisee- You don’t just pay and get going and they used to prefer Christian owners
Watch the video and do the research, when you buy a McDonald’s you actually OWN that’s store because you’re paying for it. CFA Buys the store and everything in it and they just pay you to run it for them. So you’re not a owner, that’s why their process is so hard to get selected, they only want certain types of people
I was SHOCKED by Hertz, buying a small franchise in a town, etc... how incredibly expensive and not much corporate support or products return for the huge amount of money, & hard sweat, etc it was....but I'm not educated on pros/cons of buying franchises like you've shown.
Also most of the operators (owners) of chick fil a have worked in a chick fil a before moving up to be an owner which is why there’s that little percentile of people who apply coming from elsewhere will not get accepted.
Most traditional places like a McDonald’s etc, I would say focus on the things you personally like and the places you go now. I would probably open up a juicing or something very pro health since that’s what I like and most of the world is moving in that direction
The biggest cons for me is you have no equity in the company so you can’t give it to your child or sell it. Also you only get one. It’s just a high paying job. Plus you have to be onsite full time.
@@LandoSuccess I wonder how that works for taxes. They probably don’t even get the same tax benefits as typical franchise owner. Are they W-2? I wonder if they even get an LLC for this.. it shouldn’t be advertised as franchise owner more of a directory or GM
Regardless of the scale, I believe in having more than one stream of income; in addition to, there's plenty of people that observe the Sabbath on a Friday late evening til Saturday late evening, thus being opened on a Sunday.
I would love to know what it takes to start one up! There isn’t one in my city and people have to drive 30 mins for one so it would be a great a great investment!
@@BondServantOfJesusChrist tbh I say do it. It’s such a rare opportunity and worse case you do it and not like it. Your new resume would be insane. So keep going and gain the experience. You don’t have nothing else to do 🤣
The more money u have to start a franchise the higher the earning opportunity. Like a McDonald’s but u gonna need some millions and u have to make sure it’s an successful store
The reason it is so successful is because of what they require. The owner being there, following someone for 2 years, and the other requirements you spoke about make it what it is. You not being there the QC would definitely go down. If you watch McDonald's the Founder, you'd see what happened to the QC when the owners were not involved every day operations. They just wanted the money.
Its a good business to own a franchise , just keep in mind that 15% royalty & 50% all profits they take from you ! Still makes more money then McDonald's etc ...

Some videos I go straight to the facts but some when it’s long u have to add some flavor lol
The $10,000 isn't the hard thing. Applying to be an operator and being selected is extremely hard out of the thousands of applicants Chick-fil-A gets every year
100% facts
Good stuff brother. Thank you.
No problem
Thank you Mr. Orlando I was trying to be a franchise owner and I'm glad that you gave me the opportunity to learn more about franchise Chick-fil-A is out of my question 711 is out of my question and I'm moving on checking out your rescue videos
Thanks 👸🏾 for leaving a comment I appreciate that 🙏🏿
Do you sale merchandise. Love the think big picture!
I’m going to plan to do it once I reach 10k subscribers, and I want some dope stuff bc most youtubers merch looks like it’s terrible quality 🤣 so I got you soon appreciate it
@@LandoSuccess your welcome. Thank you
What if someone wants to start a chick fila and has no money, so I fund the person and in return get a stake in the company. Then as the business grows, the person I funded is the operator and I collect passive income on my stake in the business.
I doubt if they let anybody work like that unless you do a contract behind the scenes where they don’t know
@@LandoSuccess as long as the chick fila contract doesn’t prevent that, it’s always somethin to try
That money is only the license. It will cost you a million plus to get one opened and need to have a large net worth and cash in the bank. All franchise license fees are in this range $5000 to $25000.
Nah they will cover that, all you really need is 10k
@@LandoSuccess please check into that if your buying a franchise and see if you don't have to pay for building and equipment, unless your doing a joint venture and only get part of profits.
I heard a month ago Chick Fil A is opening a few locations in New Orleans which is Popeye's headquarters or I guess you would call it a stronghold. LOL
Lol that line is going to last for weeks once they open up lol
That's big competition! I'll take Popeyes over CFA though....but they both make addictive food...
Thanks for this info. I was curious what that initial $10k could get me. I don’t want to spend that to own a job. I’m looking to be hands off eventually with a business. I’ll keep saving and looking for the right opportunity for me. Chick-fil-A isn’t it.
Thanks for checking it out and leaving some feedback 🙏🏿 most people have no idea. It sucks because it’s such a great company too
Smart woman
10k is gonna earn you 200k a year so what you mean by that lol
@ Matthew Rees Don’t get me wrong the financial gain sounds great. I just value my time also and I don’t want to work 40 hours per week for the rest of my life. I want a business that my employees run for the most part and that will give me residual income after I retire. Hence the desire to be hands off at some point.
@@tashagarland9163 you look relatively young why wouldn’t you be able to work there for a few years and build up the business and after a few years be in the background?
It like owning a fedex route or Amazon route ? Chick-fil-A is amazon your just running it for them
Yup I’m with you
Correct!
I looked into CFA years ago and they pretty much have to pick You as a franchisee- You don’t just pay and get going and they used to prefer Christian owners
Yup 100% factual
I would love to franchise like a dominos or a Dunkin’ Donuts. I’m in a small city so I know those 2 brands can be a great investment.
Yeah I’m going to do a video on a few more franchises soon
The company is from Georgia
What do you expect?
South 🦝🦝🦝
🤣🤣
That's how long the lines in cars in NC are at Chick-fil-A
What about owning a 7-Eleven?
Should like that would be a dope video 🤔 you might be on to something lol
Not a good idea.
didn't know any of this information but it was very helpful.
My brother 💯 thanks for checking it o it and leaving a comment
I highly doubt this is true because you need over half-a-million and liquid money to even think about opening a McDonald's or anything like
Watch the video and do the research, when you buy a McDonald’s you actually OWN that’s store because you’re paying for it. CFA Buys the store and everything in it and they just pay you to run it for them. So you’re not a owner, that’s why their process is so hard to get selected, they only want certain types of people
Thank you for this information!
My pleasure, thanks for checking it out
That the chic fila in Houston bush international was their a few weeks ago
You already know 🤣 it was probably busy as hell when you went too
I was SHOCKED by Hertz, buying a small franchise in a town, etc... how incredibly expensive and not much corporate support or products return for the huge amount of money, & hard sweat, etc it was....but I'm not educated on pros/cons of buying franchises like you've shown.
Thanks for checking it out and leaving a comment 💯
Hertz is an awful business.
Also most of the operators (owners) of chick fil a have worked in a chick fil a before moving up to be an owner which is why there’s that little percentile of people who apply coming from elsewhere will not get accepted.
That make sense
@@LandoSuccess just speaking from experience as an operator 😮😂
@@JosephCoy that’s amazing I love it, keep it up 💯
I looked into it back in the day and as soon as I read you have to work in the store I was like nah.
Yup lol 🙅🏾♂️
What is a good franchise to own and let the business run by itself without having to work?
Most traditional places like a McDonald’s etc, I would say focus on the things you personally like and the places you go now. I would probably open up a juicing or something very pro health since that’s what I like and most of the world is moving in that direction
Sell drugs
@@dohasami12 hahaha
Definitely subscribed
My dawg 💯 just did the same to your page
The biggest cons for me is you have no equity in the company so you can’t give it to your child or sell it. Also you only get one. It’s just a high paying job. Plus you have to be onsite full time.
Yeah that’s crazy
@@LandoSuccess I wonder how that works for taxes. They probably don’t even get the same tax benefits as typical franchise owner. Are they W-2? I wonder if they even get an LLC for this.. it shouldn’t be advertised as franchise owner more of a directory or GM
A flight attendant is a great job because of the travel benefits most airlines give their employees.
Yeah I have been able to travel all across the world with them
plus you literally get to travel all the time while working which is cool
Lando, I can't with your intro 😍😍, It's so heartwarming !
I appreciate that response thank you 🙏🏿
I can't "what" with your intro?
I can't _______ with your intro.
I don't understand...
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 That's because you're old. I can't..........That's all that needs to be said. Like, I just can't.
Thanks good job! God Bless
🙏🏿
Your chances of getting struck by lighting, hit by thunder in your basement are much higher than becoming a Chick Fil-A franchisee!
Facts 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Regardless of the scale, I believe in having more than one stream of income; in addition to, there's plenty of people that observe the Sabbath on a Friday late evening til Saturday late evening, thus being opened on a Sunday.
I have 30k I might just invest 10 to get something started
I would put 10k in Ethereum I think it will hit 10k by the end of this year
@@LandoSuccess smart man
Thanks! Very helpful!!
Thanks for checking it out
Yep there's always a catch. Low upfront investment compared to other franchises. But they are like Shang Tsung, "Your soul is mine, my pleasure." LOL
🤣🤣 ikr such a great company and low investment, this is a great deal for a lot of people
It’s kinda sounds like Amazon DSP on the website it says $10k to startup but you gotta have $30K in liquid assets.
Can you do a cinnabon one?
A few ppl have been asking about that one
I would love to know what it takes to start one up! There isn’t one in my city and people have to drive 30 mins for one so it would be a great a great investment!
I applied just finished the assessment now I’m seeing this.😩
Ohhh nooo 🤣🤣🤣 wishing you luck 🙏🏿 and let me know the process and what happens. We are rooting for you 🙌🏿
What was it did you apply for ?
@@LandoSuccess I just got a email today welcoming me to the third phase. Im going to pray on it unsure if I want to continue.
@@geraldpaul1870 opening a chick fil A franchise as the video is indicating.
@@BondServantOfJesusChrist tbh I say do it. It’s such a rare opportunity and worse case you do it and not like it. Your new resume would be insane. So keep going and gain the experience. You don’t have nothing else to do 🤣
In my city there’s a few chick fil a in Toronto I would open another one
It would cost 3 million
I agree with your logic.
💯 🙌🏿
If I did get a chick fil a and it was in my state, I feel that I would be set though, 200k a year is around 3x the amount of middle class where I live
I’m in California and 200k is a good start off income you’ll be comfortable if you have good money management
$200000 a year sounds pretty good compared to what I make at my job.
🤣🤣 funny guy. Thank you for this video. Very helpful 👍🏾
Got your back
I love your stuff buddy!
Thanks I appreciate the comment 🙏🏿
Which franchise's are good for making lots of money without working (like a chick-fil-A operator).
The more money u have to start a franchise the higher the earning opportunity. Like a McDonald’s but u gonna need some millions and u have to make sure it’s an successful store
Thanks. Good video.
Thanks for checking it out and leaving a comment 💯
Thank u lando
I just wanna save money to get my real estate business going🤷♂️
That’s a smart move
Loco and Hwasa, LOL...
You didn't get nicked for that?
😅
Great video
Appreciate it
The reason it is so successful is because of what they require. The owner being there, following someone for 2 years, and the other requirements you spoke about make it what it is. You not being there the QC would definitely go down. If you watch McDonald's the Founder, you'd see what happened to the QC when the owners were not involved every day operations. They just wanted the money.
I 1000% agree with you on it. Even though I don’t like it, it still works perfectly and that’s why they’re one of the best
Thank you super helpful.
Thanks for checking it out and leaving a comment
Very informative
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for checking it out
this is a great video to motivate and encourage others to start their franchise bc you’re really going through the process in detail
Thanks
Its a good business to own a franchise , just keep in mind that 15% royalty & 50% all profits they take from you ! Still makes more money then McDonald's etc ...
If you put it that way you’re kinda right 😬 they make around 150k a year on average
It’s not like owning a McDonalds
WAIT ITS UNPAID !?? FOR TWO YEARS???
All bad 🤣
