A hamburger franchise business plan should contain the same core sections as most any business plan, which include the executive summary, company overview, market analysis, target consumer profile, demographic info & figures, marketing plan, operational plan, and financial plan. A few of the most popular hamburger franchises are McDonald’s, Carl’s Jr./Hardy’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Fatburger. Some hamburger franchisors have a specific outline that they would like the customer follow, whereas others merely require a comprehensive business plan. If you are starting a business plan for a hamburger franchise, you might want to answer the following questions:
- Where will your hamburger franchise be located?
- Will you offer drive-thru?
- How many hamburger franchises are in your area?
- How is your hamburger franchise competitively positioned against hamburger and other fast-food franchises in the area?
- What will be your hours of operation?
