<prompt> Human: Hi all. Ive been lurking here for the past couple years and now Im thinking of joining a California-only business. My family is helping in funding this endeavor and were doing it to help each other financially after some unforeseen circumstances. Any advice on franchising? I have no personal experience in restaurant work but I did work a few times at a gas station store and my mother worked at gas stations for several years. Were hoping this will help us compensate for the lack of restaurant experience. We are also pretty dedicated to this business as consumers and I may have some similar education background to share with the person we will be talking to about this opportunity. Also, please let me know if this belongs here. I figured it would as its a financial opportunity.Edit: thanks for the feedback everyone. We do have the funds needed for this particular franchise. That includes monthly payments, cost of keeping the store running, etc. I am meeting with the advisor soon so Ill get more information from them and see what I want to do from there. Im very hesitant though seeing as how I have no experience personally.  <response>: I would advise against it.
