We are looking for partners that are following closely the operations, especially in the launching phase.
Statistic has proven Owner Operated Kiosk is more profitable! 70% of Licensing Business operated by working
Owners failed because they cannot dedicate as much time to the Business as they expect. Management skill is

rental require your full time commitment. Reporting/ Feedback of your new business to the Licensor cannot be
relying on your immature staff from the beginning.

day at the beach! Like any other small business, it requires hard work, dedication before you will realize a profit
