Investments for a food franchise can range from the thousands of dollars (for vending machines or other small business ventures) to the hundreds of thousands of dollars and beyond (for full-service restaurants).

​

Food franchises are often the first thing people associate with the industry of franchising. Food is certainly one of the most popular areas of franchising.

 

Though food franchising is most often associated with fast food, the industry also includes coffee, pizza, ice cream, smoothies, baked goods, and more.
