Why PayMore Delivers Maximum Return on Effort in Franchising.
You’ve probably asked, What’s the ROI?
But here’s the better question: What’s the ROE?
Return on Effort.
Because in today’s world, your time is your most valuable asset. And how much you get out of something relative to how much effort you put in? That’s the real game-changer.
What Is Return on Effort — and Why Franchisees Are Talking About It
Return on Effort (ROE) is a measure of how much value, revenue, or impact you get for every hour of effort you put into your business. It’s the reason more and more seasoned franchisees — especially those coming from food are talking about PayMore.Do you ever find yourself saying:
“I don’t just want a profitable business…
I want one that doesn’t eat up my life.”
ROE matters because not all franchises are created equal in terms of time, complexity, and day-to-day grind.
Just look at the data:
- The average restaurant franchise has 8–12 employees per shift, long operating hours, and high turnover.
- 63% of restaurant franchisees report spending more than 40 hours per week managing operations (Franchise Business Review, 2024).
- Meanwhile, low-labor, tech-enabled franchises like PayMore operate with a lean team and strong margins — with many owners spending less than 25 hours a week on oversight.
That’s not just less stress — it’s more freedom.
Why PayMore Is the Ultimate Return on Effort Franchise
Let’s break down why PayMore has one of the highest ROEs in franchising today:
✅ Simple Operations
PayMore isn’t food. It’s not retail in the traditional sense either. You’re buying and selling used electronics — and the inventory walks in your door every day. No fryers. No perishables. No 20-step recipes. Just a clean, tech-driven resale model.
✅ Built-in E-commerce
Unlike most brick-and-mortar franchises, PayMore has a powerful e-commerce component. Franchisees sell both in-store and online, which means you’re making money even when your store is closed, your asleep, the business is basically running itself.
✅ Smaller Staff, Less Drama
Many locations run with just a few team members per shift. Compare that to food concepts with 3x the headcount — and all the headaches that come with managing them.
✅ Shorter Hours
A typical PayMore location is open 10–7 on weekdays, shorter hours on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays. Translation: You & your employees get your mornings, nights and weekends back…
Why Food Franchisees Are Crossing Over
More and more food franchise operators are getting burned out. They’re doing the math — and the ROE just isn’t there anymore.
They’re switching to PayMore because:
- It’s less effort with similar or better margins
- It’s more scalable without burnout
- It doesn’t require constant oversight to succeed
In fact, a growing number of PayMore franchisees previously owned food brands — and they’ll tell you, it’s night and day.
