Franchising in restaurants is one of the biggest opportunities for someone looking to start their own business as a franchise. Fast food and full service restaurants are both very profitable as franchises, and are good for both the business owner and the local economy.

Franchising allows the business owner to give exceptional service to the customer because the company takes care of a lot of things that a small business might have to deal with, and name recognition ensures that the franchise owner does not have to worry about losing money. This frees up the restaurant or fast food business to take special orders without difficulty or provide exceptional food at a reasonable price, for example, in a buffet format, essentially, to be the best restaurant possible.

Fast food restaurant franchises, in particular, are well known for having excellent service and consistent food, because their operations are controlled by a large company with the ability to coordinate and streamline everything they do.

Many fast food franchises also operate abroad now. This can present problems, because restaurants want to ensure that they have the same quality of food and service as in their home country. Great care needs to be taken to ensure that the franchises in the international destination have sufficient raw materials to produce the food and that staff and service can be controlled from a distance.

Successful restaurant franchises can be extremely popular. For instance, pizza restaurants are known for having large franchising networks, and are very successful in the business. Even though other foods are equally well-liked by consumers, like pasta, they cannot achieve the status in the industry that pizza restaurants have without the kind of successful franchising you see in that industry. The operations of some of these franchises are so streamlined that you cannot tell them from a branch location of a restaurant.
