Creed expresses pride in being free of the pitched battles that have erupted within the franchise communities of other so-called asset-light franchisors. Part of that, he says, is a history of having franchise organizations that give the field-level operators a loud and heeded voice.

Buying into Grubhub, too, facilitates the use of that third-party delivery service by franchisees.
