franchiselandscape.com ↗ · Content & Blogs · score 84.0
Open: public page gives enough substance to understand the site $Paid: pricing, booking, ecommerce, subscription, or paid access is visible ADAds: visible ad load or ad-supported content Pretty: notable design, copy, craft, or presentation Pro: polished, finished-feeling, serious, or operationally mature Niche: specific audience, workflow, or unusually focused use case Human: personal, local, community, civic, handmade, or real-person signal !Suspicious: scammy, spammy, trust theater, finance fog, or credibility concern

A filing-based directory ranks 13 U.S. quick-service franchise brands by their total disclosed ongoing fee stack.

Why it surfaced

Instead of repeating headline royalty rates, QSR Landscape adds royalties, brand advertising funds, and required local advertising percentages from franchise filings. It also keeps the filing year visible and warns readers that the comparison is a starting point—not an investment recommendation.
