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.
