The owners, or franchisees, have to purchase the rights to open a and operate a restaurant franchise, but i dont know how much that would cost! im trying to do this project for school.. The franchisee then has to pay royalties to the Franchisor, or head office. (and idk how much that would cost either) please help! i dont even know how much it would cost for a permit (im doing Fuddruckers as my franchise) in my city. . . where there is no Fuddruckers 
thanks
thanks
