About
QSR Landscape ranks quick-service restaurant franchises by what they cost to run, using figures read out of the disclosure documents.
Compiled from public filings and operator sites Reviewed 2026-08-15
QSR Landscape is a directory of quick-service restaurant franchises, ranked by the one figure the filings never add up for you: the total percentage of gross sales a franchisor can require every month.
The set is weighted towards kebab, Mediterranean and halal formats, and takes in the neighbouring brands a buyer in that category actually ends up comparing — sandwiches, chicken, hot dogs, tacos — because they compete for the same site and the same cheque.
Every figure comes from a Franchise Disclosure Document. Nothing is reprinted from a franchise portal, and no brand can pay to appear, move or be removed. How the ranking works.
QSR Landscape is an independent editorial publication. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Döner Haus or any other brand in the directory. Listed companies do not control inclusion, ranking or analysis.
