A Franchise Restaurant in India is a type of restaurant that operates under a business model in which the restaurant owner licenses the right to use a particular restaurant brand and system of operation from a franchisor. In this business model, the franchisee pays an initial fee to the franchisor for the right to use the brand name, operating system, and other resources, and then typically pays ongoing royalties or fees based on a percentage of the franchisee's sales. By joining a franchise system, a restaurant owner gains the benefit of operating under an established brand with a proven business model and support from the franchisor. However, they must also follow the franchisor's rules and guidelines for things such as menu offerings, pricing, and advertising. The franchisor typically provides training, marketing support, and ongoing assistance to franchisees.
