Many people with ambitions of owning a franchised restaurant start their search with fast food. After all, we?re surrounded daily by example after example of large national fast food brands that are clearly successful. The downside is that those large national brands can be difficult and expensive to get into. One of them was selling corporate stores to new franchisees at six and seven times EBITDA just a couple of years ago?a premium price for an existing restaurant, especially considering that corporate stores don?t have a royalty expense. Luckily, there are options. Browse our list of fast food franchise business opportunities, and learn more about this segment below.

Additional Information
The plain truth is that ?fast food? covers a wide range of concepts. Frankly, the term can mean very different things to different people and is not always useful for a detailed search. It serves mostly to distinguish what are more formally known as quick service restaurants (QSR) from full service restaurants (FSR). But within QSR lies a dizzying array of choices.
Defining QSR
The term ?I know it when I see it? comes to mind. Most of us would be challenged to formally define QSR? yet we understand what it is. FSR prepares food to order, true. But so does QSR, although at peak times certain standard products are usually kept ready. The main difference is preparation time.
There?s a reason the nickname is ?fast? food. A majority of QSR customers take food away rather than dining in. Servers do not wait on customers at their tables. That?s the ?full service? in FSR. Because state laws generally don?t permit restaurant patrons to leave the establishment with an alcoholic beverage, QSR doesn?t serve alcohol either.
Those boundaries still leave room for plenty of variety. QSR and fast food franchise standards like burgers, chicken, and pizza are a starting point. But there are so many options, ranging from coffee shops, diners, and cafes to bakeries, doughnut shops, sandwich restaurants and more. You can certainly find a fast food franchise business opportunity that best suits your personality, interests, and business skills.
