Relatively few first time Owner/Operators obtain a new restaurant. The costs associated with new
restaurants are as follows:
Initial Costs
$45,000 Initial Fee paid to McDonald's
Equipment and Pre-Opening Costs
Typically these costs range from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000. The size of the restaurant facility, area of
the country, pre-opening expenses, inventory, selection of kitchen equipment, signage, and style of decor
and landscaping will affect new restaurant costs. These costs are paid to suppliers.
The new Owner/Operators must pay forty percent (40%) cash of the total costs of a new restaurant, and may
finance the remainder from traditional sources. While McDonald's does not offer financing, McDonald's
Owner/Operators enjoy the benefits of our established relationships with many national lending institutions.
We believe our Owner/Operators enjoy the lowest lending rates in the industry.
Franchise Term
20 years
Ongoing Fees
Service fee: a monthly fee based on the restaurant's gross sales (currently a service fee of 4.0% of gross
monthly sales)
Rent: a monthly base rent and/or rent based on a percentage of gross monthly sales.
