Food Franchises are some of the most established business organisations in franchising, and one of the most evident and transparent modes of franchise operation throughout the UK and the World.

Recognised brands include Burger King, McDonalds, SubWay, KFC and Dominoes Pizza, as well as many others.  Many of these franchise brands have hundred or thousands of franchisees across the World, and are some of the most respected businesses and retail brands, franchised or otherwise!

While there are a growing number of mobile food franchises, Premises based business are the main focus of this section on the Totalfranchise and Retail franchise sites.  Premises based franchises include restaurant franchises, take-away and fast food franchises, plus drive-thru restaurants, coffee shops and coffee, muffin, bagel and baguette boutiques in shopping centres and within other retail locations.

Investment for food franchises that are premises based are amongst the highest in franchising, and many franchisors offer an 'investment franchise' opportunity whereby the franchisee sets up multiple store premises locations within a larger regional territory allocation and appoints managers, although many franchisors maintain the focus on owner-managed stores that by comparison, outperform equivalent managed stores usually due to the franchisees everyday 'hands-on' involvement.

Premises based food franchises are, of course, management franchises that require staff management, premises management, couple with a role for the franchisee ensuring that all functions of the business are performed in accordance with the franchise Agreement, from marketing to stock control and cash handling.  Consequently, premises food franchises form some of the least flexible franchises, but equally, the most secure and proven business investment models.

Explore food retail franchises below, and request information on franchises that interest you, but ensure you check the investment levels required as many of these franchises reject outright franchise applications from prospective franchisees that are unable to declare the required level of personal funding available.
