Founder, Franchising Xpert | Former Subway Country Manager & Development Agent
Franchise development, QSR, multi-site operations and international expansion built on more than 15 years of hands-on franchisor, franchisee and advisory experience.
Franchise Experience Built in the Real World
Building franchise systems that can scale without losing control.
I am Mubasher Chohan, Founder of Franchising Xpert and an Australia-based Franchise Development Consultant Australia specializing in franchise strategy, QSR, multi-site operations, and acting as your trusted Franchise Business Consultant Australia.
My career has covered multiple sides of the franchise relationship: corporate franchise leadership, franchise development, field operations, multi-unit ownership and consulting. That matters because a franchise model cannot simply look good in a presentation. It has to work commercially for the franchisor and operationally for the franchisee.
My work today focuses on established businesses, restaurant and QSR brands, corporate groups and investors that want to build stronger franchise systems, improve existing networks or expand into new markets.

Restaurant & QSR Franchise Consultant
Restaurant growth has to work at store level first.
A strong brand alone does not make a strong franchise. Restaurant and QSR expansion depends on whether individual locations can deliver attractive economics while maintaining product quality, operating standards and customer experience.
I work with food and beverage concepts on franchise feasibility, site economics, food cost, labour, supply chain, training, operating standards, opening processes and multi-unit development.
“The objective is not simply more locations. The objective is a stronger franchise network.”
Sustainable Franchise Growth
Growth must work for all three sides of the system.
One of the biggest mistakes in franchising is using store count as the primary definition of success. Opening locations is easier than building a healthy network.
Sustainable development requires balancing franchisor profitability, franchisee profitability and customer experience. If one deteriorates significantly, growth eventually becomes harder to sustain. Whether you are looking for a dedicated Franchise Expansion Consultant or guidance on network scaling, my focus is on sustainable growth across every layer of the business.

My Approach
Franchise consulting should begin with the business model — not the paperwork.
Documentation is important, but it should codify a model that already makes commercial and operational sense. Before building manuals, presentations or sales material, I focus on the fundamentals.
Franchise Consultant Australia
Franchise strategy for Australian businesses and international brands.
Australia is a mature and highly competitive franchise market. Businesses seeking franchise growth need more than a franchise agreement and an attractive sales presentation. Prospective franchisees increasingly assess the economics, support model, brand strength, operating systems and leadership behind an opportunity.
As an Australia-based franchise consultant, I support businesses assessing franchise readiness, network development, QSR expansion, franchisee recruitment and international growth while keeping the commercial fundamentals at the centre of the strategy.
Where legal documentation or Australian regulatory advice is required, brands should work with an appropriately qualified Australian franchise lawyer. My focus is the commercial, operational and development side of the franchise system.

A franchise consultant helps businesses assess, develop and improve franchise systems. This can include franchise strategy, commercial modelling, franchise readiness, operating systems, territory planning, franchisee recruitment, franchise development and network expansion.
