So, you\u2019re looking to get into franchising. Or maybe you\u2019re looking for a new franchise after having tried one or more already. Whatever the case, you\u2019ve heard about quick-service restaurant (QSR) franchises and have decided they sound interesting; but are they the right fit for you? Let\u2019s take a look at QSRs and see what makes them a very popular choice for many franchisees.<\/p>\n

Reason 1: Room to Grow<\/h2>\n

Despite its popularity, there\u2019s a lot of room for QSRs of all sorts. Market research company IBISWorld<\/a> reports that as of 2023, the fast food industry in the U.S. has a market size of $367 billion, with a total of 301,847 locations throughout the country. By comparison, the janitorial service industry<\/a> has a market value of approximately $90 billion in the U.S. and over 1.2 million janitorial businesses. Starting a QSR franchise means you\u2019ll join an industry with a lot of potential for revenue and one where the competition isn\u2019t so numerous you can\u2019t find a spot to call your own.<\/p>\n

Reason 2: Small Footprint, Good Profit<\/h2>\n

Opening a QSR franchise also allows you to maximize your revenue for the amount of space your business requires. According to restaurant supplier Sam Tell Companies, the average commercial kitchen<\/a> is about 1,051 square feet, and seating areas are usually 5 square feet per seat. With technological and business practice innovations like online ordering and independent delivery services, a QSR can serve many customers without requiring a large (and expensive) building.
\nCompare this to other brick-and-mortar fitness franchises. For instance, according to studio business software company StudioGrowth, the average size<\/a> of a fitness studio is 3,813 square feet, with a 1,000-square-foot minimum. Even small independent gyms may be a few thousand square feet, while larger chain gyms may require tens of thousands of square feet, fitness info website The Trusty Spotter reported in January 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reason 3: Easier to Learn<\/h2>\n

Establishing a QSR franchise is less complex than starting a business from scratch, making it an attractive option. With the drive to succeed and basic business management knowledge, your QSR franchisor will offer all necessary information and training to follow their business plan. In contrast, franchises in other industries, like accounting firms, can be more demanding in terms of credentials. For instance, to run an accounting firm franchise, you’ll need at least a bachelor’s degree<\/a> in accounting or business, and possibly a master’s for CPA certification, according to accounting training resource website Accounting.com. Specialized education may be required for focusing on areas like personal finances or internal auditing. If a franchise owner lacks these qualifications, hiring certified staff becomes essential for the accounting franchise’s success.<\/p>\n

Icing on The Cake<\/h2>\n

If the previous reasons weren\u2019t enough to convince you that a QSR franchise is a good investment, consider the following: QSRs are:<\/p>\n
