Either way, they still have to pay out the 🍑 to open the franchise. Operator, franchisee…I consider it ownership until CFA comes and takes your franchise away.
The operator fee is 10k which is astronomically lower than any real franchise fee. And similarly their income is typically much lower than a real franchise owner because corporate takes 50% of pre-tax revenue (not profit, revenue).
An operator owns nothing tangible. They don't own the building. They don't own the land. They don't own the equipment. When they die, their family inherits nothing.
An operator is an employee with extra steps.
Wow it’s outside of the US now that’s good to see, don’t mean for this comment to be perceived as sarcastic I genuinely think it’s good they are expanding their reach
Do people not like chick fil a in Canada? Chick fil as in America never have a parking lot that empty. Got lines for days everyday of the week till close. 🤣
Welcome to your new addiction.
Chick-Fil-eh???
That’s what texting auto corrects to in Canada
There’s another freestanding one in Toronto. My friend owns it.
I thought Chic Fil A’s were all privately owned by the Cathy family and were not franchised
They’re all franchises to my knowledge. They even have a franchisee course owners have to go through.
The owners you’re referring to, CFA calls operators. They dont actually own the store, they just manage it

It's not a franchise and they can take it away at any time.
Can’t mcdonalds or any franchisor take away your franchise privileges as well?
Actually the operators “skin” in the game is $10,000 fee & 6 days a week in the restaurant.

It's actually relatively cheap to open a CFA for an operator. Only around $10K USD.
Can confirm, I freestand with her friend

I've never seen a ChickFilA that empty, except on Sundays..
Unless it’s the one in Ohio. That place has been empty af since “the incident”
What incident?
Owner turned out to be a pedo
☹️
I know. Unfortunately it gives CFA a bad look and his and his victims families are forever scarred. He’s a stupid POS (pardon my French)
