The total financial cost of opening a franchise can range between $1.2 million and $2.2 million, depending on location, building size and any updates or upgrades that need to be completed. The initial franchise fee for a Burger King is $50,000, which must be paid prior to the opening date of the location. Once the restaurant opens for business, a monthly royalty fee of 4.5 percent of gross sales is required by the parent company.
Like the Whoppers, they are flame-grilled, made of 100% beef and will be sold for $1.99 and $2.29, respectively. Combo meals including a small soda and fries will cost $4.49 and $4.79 each. But the addition of grilled hot dogs is not just a way to beef up sales for Burger King. It will also boost other businesses owned by 3G Capital. 3G bought Burger King in 2010, and four years later combined the home of the Whopper with Canada's Tim Hortons to create Restaurant Brands International.
