Franchise in the food industry is very very hard work, but can turn out more profitable than most people would dare to think. We all know McDonald, which is probably the most used franchise system in the world.
Franchising is expensive though, for McDonald:
Franchise Fee: $45,000
Royalty Fee: 12.5%
Required Capital: $75,000
Total Investment: $506,000 - $1,600,000
