For over 50 years, McDonald's has been giving opportunities to people who share the same vision of serving great tasting quality food fast through franchising. More than 80% of McDonald's restaurants all over the world are owned by franchisees.
In the Philippines, McDonald's opened its doors to franchising to Filipino entrepreneurs in 1985, and has since expanded its network to over 150 franchised restaurants with more than 65 franchisees (most have been part of the McDonald's Family for around 10 to 15 years!).

McFranchise Fast Facts:
Owning a Franchise
- We grant franchise to an individual on a sole proprietorship basis.
- We award the franchise on a per restaurant basis. We don't offer it on a territorial or geographical basis.
Site Selection
- McDonald's chooses the site and does feasibility study on the potential site. The sites are thoroughly studied, evaluated and we do traffic counts systematically. Application for the site and the franchise is treated and processed separately and independently from each other.
Franchise Terms
- The term of the franchise is good for ten (10) years or the term of the lease whichever is shorter.
Kinds of Franchise
- The required investment cost on the part of the franchisee will depend on the kind of store or site that will be offered to him by the Company. In relation to this, we basically franchise in three (3) ways:
- The Company awards franchises for a new site or restaurant.
- The Company awards franchises for an existing restaurant owned and operated by the Company.
- The Company awards franchises for an existing restaurant owned and operated by a franchisee who would want to sell his or her McDonald's restaurant.
Cost of Investment
- Investment typically ranges from P30 to P50 million with the assumption that the land is leased. This covers the following costs:
- Architectural Planning and Design Fees
- Building and leasehold improvements and other relevant site works necessary
- Kitchen, air-conditioning and exhaust equipment
- Cash registers
- Emergency generators
- Seating, signages and décor
- Other furniture and fixtures
- The above costs depend on the following factors for consideration:
- Restaurant size
- Suitability of existing building
- Site location whether provincial or within Metro Manila
- Equipment specifications involved based on the kind of menu offering (regular or limited menu line). In all cases, however McDonald's specifies and approves the menu offerings.
