22 Franchise Cost Guides
QSR Franchise Costs and Requirements
Understand the difference between a franchise fee, a restaurant development estimate and the funds a candidate needs to qualify.
A franchise fee is one part of a restaurant project. Site work, equipment, working capital and recurring obligations need their own review. Candidate liquidity and net worth describe qualifications, not the price of the restaurant.
These guides use linked primary sources and preserve the scope of each published figure. An official web summary may describe an existing restaurant, a particular format or a historical FDD. A source check date records when we reviewed it; it does not make the underlying figure a current-year estimate.
Amounts are in US dollars. Unverified and conflicting requirements are labeled. Read the availability and operating requirements alongside the financial facts before comparing opportunities.
Our guide to reading a franchise disclosure document explains where to find fees, investment estimates and contract terms, with a worksheet for comparing offers.
What Goes Into Franchise Costs?
Franchise and development fees
The initial franchise fee and a development agreement fee may be separate obligations. Confirm the number of restaurants covered, payment timing and any credits. Check whether the investment estimate already includes them.
Real estate and construction
Review land or lease costs, building or tenant improvements, site work and utility connections for the proposed location. Some published estimates exclude land, financing or site-specific costs.
Equipment, inventory and training
Build a location-specific budget for kitchen equipment, systems, signage, opening stock and training expenses. Confirm which items the published estimate includes.
Working capital and candidate funds
Budget cash for the opening period and operating expenses. Keep that budget separate from the liquid-assets and net-worth requirements used to qualify a candidate.
Recurring fees and operating expenses
Read the royalty and advertising sales definitions, conditional rates, local spending requirements and other charges. These obligations do not represent the restaurant’s full expenses or predict an owner’s earnings.
Franchise Cost Guides by Brand
Read each source’s scope before comparing amounts. The full brand guides add capital requirements, recurring fees and operating commitments. An Operator fee is not a restaurant-development budget, and missing amounts are not zero.
McDonald's
The published candidate-funding figures cover buying and operating an existing restaurant. New restaurants require a greater investment.
