Restaurant franchises remain one of the biggest sectors in franchising.  Why? Many of the world’s largest franchise brands fall into the restaurant franchise category - Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Five Guys, Subway. KFC, Starbucks, to name just a few. Investors looking for a more substantial investment tend to turn to restaurant franchise opportunities because of the returns they yield. Whilst the investment will tend to be higher for buying a restaurant franchise opportunity, in most cases, the rewards are substantial especially as many will require the franchisee to open multiple units. Restaurant franchises are also attractive to those existing franchisees looking to add to their portfolio and become a multi-brand franchisee.
