FAQ
How much you will ultimately have to invest in opening a Quick Service restaurant depends on the location, building and type of restaurant, e.g. franchise or own business. The initial start-up costs also vary. On average, a restaurant owner can expect to pay around €450,000. Many internal and external resources are needed. The rent of premises depends on the location and you usually pay a deposit of three to six months’ rent in advance. When buying a commercial space, a deposit of 10%-20% of the purchase price is expected. In addition, there are costs for kitchen equipment and utensils as well as furniture. The cost of technology, such as payment terminals, receipt printers, etc., must also be taken into account. The purchase of a digital cash register system (such as the SIDES cash register system system gastronomy) makes sense in order to be able to work efficiently, automate processes and collect data.
If you want to open a Quick Service franchise, you will have to pay a fee for the rights to the name, the equipment and the intellectual property. The average fee for McDonald’s and Co. is around 46,000€.

The average fee for McDonald’s and Co. is around 46,000€.
With effective search engine optimisation (SEO), the online presence of a Quick Service restaurant is optimised both in Google Search and on Google Maps. This makes it easier to reach potential customers organically. One of the most important steps is the presence in listing portals such as Google My Business. A key success factor is the completeness of the profile (always up-to-date information such as opening hours and location). With the help of an entry on Google My Business, the website becomes visible to users in Google listings or on Google Maps. Google takes three factors into account in the ranking for local searches: relevance, awareness and distance. The more accurate and up-to-date a restaurant’s information is, the better Google can assess it and the higher its chances of appearing higher up in the local search results.
According to a survey by Statista (2013), the most popular fast food dish in Germany is the kebab for men (24 %) and pizza for women (22 %). The most popular fast food restaurant, according to the 2020 Consumption and Media Analysis, is McDonald’s (32 % of over 23,000 respondents go there at least once a month). Far behind is competitor Burger King with only 16.5 %. Nordsee follows with 12.6 %, Subway with 9.5 % and Pizza Hut with 6.6 %.
Yes, nowadays more and more international fast food chains as well as smaller snack stands are focusing on vegan dishes, as the demand for plant-based alternatives is growing in Germany and also in other countries. More and more people are eating more consciously and reducing their meat consumption in the process. Quick Service Restaurants, however, are not only receiving pressure from consumers; business interest groups are also calling on the big franchises to rethink. The UK is leading the way in this movement. In 2018, 4.4 billion vegan main dishes, such as falafel, fries and pizza marinara, were consumed here.
92% of plant-based dishes were eaten by people who are not vegan. A big influence on this development is the British non-profit organisation Veganuary. Around 250,000 people took part in the challenge in 2019 – more than in all years combined since its launch in 2014. Global players like Pizza Hut responded by launching a pizza with jackfruit and vegan cheese. This was so popular that it was added to the regular menu in the UK. Other chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King have also followed suit in the meantime and offer vegan alternatives in their regular range. In the meantime, the vegan offer has been improved in many countries. Internationally, the fast-food franchise chain Pizza Hut remains in the lead and continues to expand its plant-based range, especially in Great Britain.
