Can a franchisee be blacklisted as an applicant by the branch manager? How do I find out which branches he operates?
A few weeks ago, I did a trial at a restaurant franchise. I was supposed to get a contract, but I canceled the job at very short notice via text message without giving any explanation and blocked his number.
Do you think you can get blacklisted by such franchises? At least I didn't do anything wrong in this case, it was just very rude of me. That the branch manager basically contacts the brand and tells them I'm not trustworthy, and every branch manager could then see that?
And do I have to contact the brand directly to find out which locations the branch manager still operates, or can I find out somehow online?
I would like to apply to another branch and I only know that the manager manages about 10 branches, not that I would apply to him again.
Probably not. But if you say you worked there in the company, he will contact your former boss if necessary. So you can still fall on your feet.
Thanks for the hint, I shouldn’t give that
No, don’t list.
No one will give you information about it.
But usually there’s a sign somewhere in the store or something that runs it.
Depends on the links to the “mother” (i.e. whether you only share the name, or also common databases, to what extent the search for personnel is centralized, whether it only moves through an internal process before it goes to the branch, etc.). And you won’t find out without having internal contacts.
In principle, there is the possibility. The question is whether a branch line would really make an appropriate effort.
You will not be able to see this information if it is not registered anywhere as an individual entrepreneur. With luck, you’ll find owner information on Google somewhere specific at the address
If you get the same owner, you just get a rejection. If you’re on an internal blacklist, stop. Or even if you can answer these questions, it wouldn’t change anything at the end result, so you can apply like that.
“I didn’t do anything wrong in this case, was just very unharmed by me.”
And you call that “not done wrong”…? The self-reflection is such a thing
