MCDONALND'S FRANCHISE
Franchisees are crucial to McDonald's success; they deliver our brand values straight to the customer. Worldwide, over 70 percent of our restaurants are run by independent entrepeneurs.
Thinking About A Franchise?
McDonald's is one of only a handful of brands that command instant recognition in virtually every country of the world. McDonald's began with one restaurant in the US in 1955 and today there are more than 26,500 restaurants in over 119 countries, serving around 39 million people every day - making McDonald's by far the largest food service company in the world.
Franchising is not for everyone though - to operate a McDonald's franchise you need the managerial and personal skills necessary to run a business employing 50 or more people and serving half-a-million customers a year.
You'll also have to make a personal commitment to run the business, day in, day out, for at least 20 years.
It should come as no surprise, then, that our selection process is rigorous. We look for individuals with a demonstrated ability to lead and manage people, good common business sense, and a track record of success in whatever they are doing. A restaurant background is not necessary, nor is a large amount of capital - although you will be asked to make a personal investment in the business. We franchise only to individuals, not to partnerships, absentee investors or families. Becoming a McDonald's franchisee is not a license to print money, but the rewards are undoubtedly there for the earning. And with only 35 per cent of restaurants in the UK operated by franchisees, there are still many franchise opportunities available in this country.
