Can you give more details on what the problems were with payments, inventory, etc.? I thought if you purchased/funded opening a franchise they would supply you with ways to manage those types of things since that is kind of the point of a franchise, isn't it? I've had a couple of half-ideas around this space but haven't put much effort into finding the pain it would solve.
