Opening a major restaurant franchise is impossible for the average American. McDonald's usually requires $750,000 of non-borrowed personal resources before considering an application, according to its website. Taco Bell requires net worth of $1 million, while Burger King requires $1.5 million. The franchisee controversy is the latest in a string of problems for McDonald's. Employees were striking for better wages last week.
Franchise fees can hit as high as R185,000 for a Nandoâs franchise or even R540,000 ($45,000) for McDonaldâs, while monthly royalty and marketing payments range between a combined 4% and 12% of net income.ooking at the biggest food chains in the country, franchising costs range from R500,000 for a brand like Chesa Nyama, to as much as R6 million for a global giant like McDonaldâs (all excluding VAT).
