restaurant franchising

Restaurant franchising is a business model where a company (the franchisor) grants individuals or groups (franchisees) the right to operate a restaurant using its established brand, recipes, and operating systems. The franchisee invests in opening and running the restaurant according to the franchisor’s standards, while paying fees or royalties. This arrangement allows the franchisor to expand its brand quickly with minimal direct investment, and franchisees benefit from a proven business model and brand recognition. Many popular chains, like McDonald's or Subway, operate through franchising, enabling widespread growth while maintaining consistent quality and service.
