Biggest Hospitality Franchises by Number of Outlets

Ranked on franchised outlets in the most recent year on file. Size is not quality — a large system can still be shedding units — but it does tell you how much operating history sits behind the brand, and how many franchisees there are to talk to before signing.

Computed from Item 20 of each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document and recomputed as coverage grows. Brands are excluded where the filing's own outlet arithmetic doesn't balance — a mis-parsed table should not outrank a correct one. This list has never been, and cannot be, paid for. How this is calculated.
