If you are asking if a company would use somebody to get the job done cheaper, Uh..... I guess the answer is yes.... that is basic business. I have a question...... Do you consider everybody else who does work cheaper than you a "Hacker"?
Or maybe you could give us your definition of hacker so that we may provide a better answer to your question. I looked it up in my Jeff Foxworthys Redneck dictionary and it defines a "hacker" as someone who spits a lot.
Well You made me laugh. :clap:
I am sorry for the word " Hacker ". Got caught up in the mist. I just wanted to know, as all of us should realize by now the answer. It appears to me that one would lose his or her account IF they had Jack in the Box. This national contract would most likely cancel any and all agreements you may have with the district manager or these locations.
I am not to worried since JITB is only a VERY VERY small part of my sales. But in dealing with them on a limited bases, I do notice that they are cheaper then most businesses. Almost like a Chinese restaurant. :yes: ( My wife is Chinese ).
Here in California, you need to be permitted if you are going to do the dumpsters and drive thru's... unless you are taking the reclamation away with you which creates a whole other set of issues.
So what will happen to your existing account? Will it be giving to someone else? Will you be forced to accept less $$$, work harder for less dollars? Or if you do not accept these new lower pricing, do you face not having your account?
( The reason why I say lower pricing is that here in California, some of the highest pricing in the Union from what I have noticed, is that NO company in their right mind is going to say... "Oh ya, lets sign a contract that will cost us more money". It's not going to happen. )
TWS has to make a profit. Thats what all of us do, that's why we are in Business. But this profit will come from your hard labor. If you are willing to accept 20 to 40% less then the current rate, then thats fine. Shoot, if they offered me 100+ restaurants, I would be willing to cut my pricing as well. But always remember, The grass is not always greener on the other side. There are benefits from this type of contract and there are downfalls. You will most likely
not hold the contract. You will not be in the driver seat. You will be a passenger on a bus and can be easily replaced at the next stop.
These are
good and
bad issues that ALL of us should look at.
