Complaint Review: Quiznos Subs - Denver Colorado

Chris, Highlands Ranch, Colorado

Thanks for your story about AFD. If you would like to really help out the victims of this big scam please check out the following website and post to the whistleblowers section:http://www.toastedsubs.info/whistleblow.shtml

If that doesn't work just go to the website - tsfa.info and feel free to snoop around and especially read what some of the victims of this franchisor have to say. I would also encourage other Q employee's either (current or former) to do the right thing and help us out also. We are currently in the process of filing a major lawsuit against Q for their egregious tactics and the way they generally do business which is detrimental to the franchisee's. Thank you in advance for helping out.

I used to work for Quiznos, well technically their wholly owned subsidiary American Food Distributors. This is the company that sells the franchisee's all of their food (by contract they must buy EVERYTHING from AFD).

What AFD does is collectively bargain with the vendors, then lowers the prices for purchasing then they screw their owners by jacking up the prices to cut into the owners profits. The markups I saw when I was there were outrageous! They made 10's of million of dollars ripping off the franchisees by making them spend too much on their food.

The best part was that even within AFD the back stabbing was absurd. They have a no drinking during work hours policy and Barbara Marney would take us out for drinks and then expense it and make her boss, Bob Viviano (who obeys and enforces the policy) pay for it! He would've fired her had he known!

Quiznos is the worst, I will never eat there again and recommend that nobody else does either. When you look at what's wrong with corporate America you need look no further than Quiznos.

Walking out on that job was the best career move I've ever made.

Here's how I can tell you will fail with Quiznos. The prices are too high.

That my conclusion. I can't even spell Quiznos. I had to copy and paste to get it right. I never looked into the franchise.

Why bother? Clearly, the products don't sell.

One time, I went in to a new location that opened up near my home. I was considering one of their steak sandwiches, but the cost was way too high.

Maybe it's because of the toasting gimmick. Is that novel approach worth the money?

Clearly not. I always go to the oriental restaurant right beside. Quiznos always has few or no customers.

Here's a tip. If you want to buy a franchise, check it out first. How do the current locations fare? Are you locked into purchasing high-priced food? Will the business make money?

You never trust a corporate salesman to look out for your best interests.

Quiznos make you think your going to make money but ready to work for free and take money out of your pocket. Your are donating everything that you work for to quiznos. They will be friendly with you when you open the store and after a while you dont want to know what happen. Instead of helping slow sale store, they are a*s hole to them. excuse for the language. I have talk to lots of other owner and all of them are upset with quiznos. I dont blame the owner for the pricing for the menu. Quiznos over charge the owner. I can go buy case of pepsi for $12. outside and quiznos charge us $15. see something worng. I did over $400 thousand and did not make any money and too some money out of my pocket. there are lots of other example that i can give you but it will take you couple of days.
