Franchising is an arrangement where a franchiser allows a franchisee to use its trademark, business systems, and processes to produce and market goods or services according to specifications. The franchisee pays an initial fee and ongoing royalties based on sales. Franchising provides franchisees with immediate name recognition, tried and tested products and business models, standardized facilities and decor, training, and ongoing support. Major franchise brands include Subway, McDonald's, Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Marriott International. KFC and McDonald's are two of the largest global restaurant franchises. Franchising offers rapid expansion and marketing support for franchisees but also requires large capital investments and sharing profits with the franchiser
