From Diswasher to Franchisee
Burch started his franchising journey with the Texas Roadhouse steakhouse franchise in his early 20s as a busser and dishwasher. Over time, he worked his way up the ranks, eventually becoming a kitchen manager, product coach and owner of a Texas Roadhouse franchise location. His favorite aspect of franchising is the sense of ownership and responsibility it brings to entrepreneurs.
His experience as a Texas Roadhouse franchisee gave him a deep sense of empathy and understanding for franchisees. He can grasp the challenges, pressures, and opportunities they encounter, which enables more meaningful connections and tailored solutions. Additionally, Burch has a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of a franchise business and sharpened problem-solving skills.
Buying a Franchise
Burch advises aspiring franchise owners to embrace the power of perseverance, learning through mentors and educational resources. He also believes in a customer-centric approach. “Your customers are at the heart of your success, so always prioritize their needs and feedback. Building strong relationships and delivering exceptional value will set you apart.” He added that taking calculated risks is important because while entrepreneurship inherently involves uncertainty, there can be rewards at the end. In his view, success in entrepreneurship is a combination of passion, dedication, and a willingness to learn from both successes and failures.
