Exclusion Request Form: Fill & Download for Free

This business seemed lucrative to me a few years ago and I am writing this on the basis of feasibility studies that our team conducted for a new Subway franchise in Mumbai. The numbers are from last year and may not factor any recent changes in franchise model.The cost of setting up a Subway franchise is anywhere between 45-60 lakhs, depending on the format (kiosk/counter/restaurant). This includes the franchise fees, equipment cost, training cost, interiors, branding etc for which the master franchise gives full support. Operating expenses (this will include your real estate rental, manpower, utilities) will be over and above this fixed cost. You are required to buy all raw materials from master franchise. If I remember correctly, you also pay a royalty / marketing fee of roughly 8% of sales on monthly basis. As a franchisee, you are expected to make gross margins of around 40%.Subway gives territorial exclusivity to its stores such that there is not more than one store in a 2-3km radius.The break even point will depend strictly on the number of sandwiches sold per day which in turn will depend on your store location.We dropped the plan to setup a franchise since we did not think the model was financially viable for our team due to the steep rentals and lack of already unpenetrated areas in Mumbai to setup new stores. We also came across few Subway stores that were making losses and were looking to sell out. Hence we finally scrapped the idea.I suggest you speak to their BD team by filling up a franchise request form on their website. They are quite supportive and usually get back to you in a week or so.

Valid Question!!!Even though, there are ready made tools to create websites and applications, we still have to learn programming in order to customize our websites/applications according to our needs. Tools generates a standard form of website which can be commonly used by multiple users. But we may need to customize it and implement some features/rules/conditions on our site which is specific to us. These sort of exclusively request may not served by the tool vendors, even if they do, they will change extra.

A deadlock is a loop in the order of exclusive requests for locks which causes all the requesters to stop indefinitely. The simplest form would be thread 1 asks for A and then B, meanwhile thread 2 asks for B and then A, 1 locks A and 2 locks B then neither can proceed as they both want a lock which isn’t available.Starvation is a lack of fairness in the granting of locks which means that a certain thread is rarely able to lock all the resources that it needs to make progress. This often occurs in a system where there are many more readers than writers. The writer has trouble getting exclusive access in order to write, because the readers only need exclude the writer and not other readers. So with many readers in the system, the writer is always (or nearly always) excluded.
