      Why Our Franchises Are Going Like Hotcakes

      With impressive year-over-year sales growth, Sunny Street Café is the next big opportunity in the breakfast and lunch lifestyle franchise segment. As big corporate breakfast chains fall out of favor (or should we say, flavor?), Sunny Street Café has become an incredible opportunity.

      Meet the Family

      In 2007, our Dad, Michael J. Stasko, a 30-year restaurant industry veteran, decided to venture into restaurant franchising as a way to work alongside us – his daughter and two sons. He succeeded. And 17-years later, the three of us are proud to keep the popular Sunny Street Café franchise moving forward. 

      Our “Bright Spot for Breakfast & Lunch” continues to grow year-after-year, and we were proud to have that growth and resiliency highlighted recently by the New York Times. Now with 22 corporate and franchised restaurants across the U.S., our team is committed more than ever to increasing that pace of growth with new franchisees who are looking for the perfect opportunity to join our family in building generational wealth for their family.

      The siblings:

      – Mike Stasko Jr. (President)
      – Maria J. Swallie (Director of Off-Premise Business Development)
      – Matthew Stasko (Corporate Chef & Field Trainer)

      What is Franchising

      New to the franchise industry? We’ve got you covered.

      There are two main models of running a restaurant: independent ownership and franchising. Independent ownership pretty much speaks for itself. The owner creates the concept, the marketing, the training, the design, the menu, everything. But what is franchising? How is it different? Franchising is investing in a model that is tried and true, where everyone is striving for success and does their part to contribute. The franchisor handles the ins and outs of marketing, strategic branding, laying down the tedious protocols that are essential to any successful business, menu research and creation, and general support.

      Basically, the franchisor covers nearly all of the things that make owning a restaurant tiresome and are liable to burn an owner out. The franchisee is responsible for the day to day operations of their restaurant, hiring and training staff, and sales generation (to name a few). While franchisees are not owners, they are investing in a system. Other franchisees are not the competition. All the franchisees are contributing to the overall brand awareness and success of the franchise, which in turn leads to greater sales and a healthier bottom line for each individual restaurant.

      Utilizing the operating system of the franchisor and working to boost the overall image and awareness of the brand means the franchisee is well on their way to being successful. And that’s what franchising is: being part of a vibrant, supportive community where everyone is working towards success.
