PRESENTATION OUTLINE
An Introduction to a Fast Food Franchise
Have you ever eaten at a fast food franchise outside of the United States? If so, you may have noticed a few differences. While this particular fast food franchise may still have the same name and logo as the one you love in the U.S., there are likely different items on the menu or slight changes in the layout. For instance, a fast food franchise might offer shrimp in Japan, but not in the United States.

- How to Open a Fast Food Franchise
1. The person who opens a fast food franchise is known as a franchisee. The franchisee oversees the day-to-day operations of the restaurant. The franchisee acts as a manager of the fast food franchise. He typically pays the franchisor an initial, fixed fee as well as a monthly percentage of the sales.
2. Most people are drawn to fast food franchises because of the established recognized brands on the market. Fast food franchises offer a sense of reliability and trust for the customers. Customers know that if they like a certain fast food franchise in Philadelphia, they’ll likely enjoy a fast food franchise with the same name in San Francisco.
With similar ingredients and menu options, fast food franchises create uniformity throughout all of their stores worldwide. Customers are more loyal to their favorite fast food franchise than a restaurant they’ve never heard of before because they know the fast food franchise has something they’ll like on the menu.
3. Opening a fast food franchise takes a lot of hard work, but isn’t impossible. It might be a better option when compared to starting a new company from scratch. As a potential franchisee, you’ll want to research about the different fast food franchise opportunities and decide which one better suits you. Then, you’ll contact the franchisor and set up an appointment to discuss the details.
Once you’re approved to open your fast food franchise, you’ll start the real estate process. The franchisor will help you understand how the fast food franchise should look and feel to ensure uniformity within their franchises. Follow the guidelines set by the franchisor, and you’ll be on your way!
