Most Popular Food Franchises and How Much They Cost

04/03/2015
We have compiled a list of the most popular food franchises and the costs involved to open each one. The following 8 franchises are considered "most popular" based on the search volume we receive to our site.

1. McDonalds Franchise
You will need a minimum of $300,000 in non-borrowed, personal resources to be considered for a franchise. Most Owner/Operators enter the System by purchasing an existing restaurant directly from McDonald’s or from a McDonald's Owner/Operator. A small number of new operators choose to purchase a new facility, but that requires an initial down payment of 40% as opposed to 25% for an existing restaurant. Intensive training addresses all aspects of operating a McDonald's restaurant. While McDonald’s does not offer financing, McDonald’s Owner/Operators have access to the company’s established lender relationships with some of the lowest lending rates in the industry.
2. Dunkin Donuts Franchise
Dunkin Donuts requires you to have a net worth for 5 restaurants at a minimum of $1.5 million and $750,000 in cash reserves. Also, one single candidate must personally meet the financial qualifications. The start up fee is a tame $40,000 to $80,000 in contrast, and yes, if you want more units you have to expand at the rate of 5 at a time.
3. Taco Bell Franchise
If you have a passion for operations-excellence and team building and you can commit to building at least 3 restaurants over 3 years Taco bell wants you. A stand-alone restaurant runs between $1,200,000 and $1,700,000, but these figures do not include the land or lease costs.
4. Subway Franchise
The estimated total investment to open a Subway franchise in the United States is between $101,000 and $285,000. This includes the complete investment in setting up a Subway franchise, and also operating expenses for the first three months. After opening, franchisees pay a royalty fee, which is 8% of their overall gross sales.
5. Pinkberry Franchise
The franchise fee is reportedly $40,000 but has not yet been verified. Start up costs will vary per location. Although Pinkberry won’t discuss sales, the silver lining declares one store could enjoy $250,000 a month on average based on 1500 customers a day. Idealistic? Maybe not in NY or CA. But what about Little Rock? Plan on the usual royalty structure for this newbie, a 5% royalty fee with another 2% for marketing.
6. Wendy's Franchise
Wendy’s requires $500,000 in liquid assets with $1,000,000 net worth, which was a bit easier to achieve in last year’s economy. The total investment lies somewhere between $250,000 and $600,000 but if you want to buy a franchise you will have to wait. Wendy’s is not currently accepting applications for Domestic franchises although it appears International franchises and Canadian franchises are still available.
7. Domino's Pizza Franchise
Franchisees at Domino’s Pizza fall into one of two categories: internal or external. Internal franchisees have already worked within Domino’s as a General Manager for at least one year. External franchisees have not previously worked with Domino’s as a General Manager, but do bring outside business or other management experience to the table. For the first group the franchise fee is $0 to $25,000 depending of the social segment (woman, minorities, veterans). For External franchisees, the fee is set at $25,000. Domino's Pizza offers a comprehensive training program covering store operations, marketing, finance, and human resources.
8. Pizza Hut Franchise
If you have a budget of between $1.3 million to $3 million and a net worth of $1 million with $360,000 in liquid assets, you can be in business within a year. You must commit to building at least 3 restaurants over 3 years.
