Fast Food Franchise

A fast food franchise is a business model where an individual or company (the franchisee) is licensed to operate a branch of an established restaurant brand (the franchisor). The franchisee follows the company's established systems, menu, branding, and procedures, paying fees or royalties for the rights. This structure allows the franchisee to benefit from the brand’s reputation and support, while maintaining local operation. Examples include McDonald's or Subway. Franchises expand quickly because they replicate proven successful concepts, combining corporate oversight with local entrepreneurship.
