How to evaluate quick-service restaurants franchises
- Weigh investment against disclosed revenue — high revenue can require high capital.
- Read the SBA charge-off rate as one risk signal, not the whole picture.
- Verify figures against each brand's FDD (Item 7 costs, Item 19 revenue) — gross sales are not profit.
- Shortlist a few, then talk to current and former owners before you commit.
