What are the Top 5 Restaurant Franchises to Get In and Startup
I have enough capital to invest in a food restaurant based franchise. Yes, I want a proven franchise model, not a new idea or concept -- too risky for me. I want to choose a franchise that I can pimp out with the latest cloud based services and workflow to streamline my back office and operational costs. What are the top 5 food franchises to get into and startup.

depends on where you are. buffalo wild wings is the fastest growing franchise (ever maybe?). red robin is cool. 5 guys.
i tried to convince my mother to spend her college funds for my brother on starting one of those franchises and having my brother manage it as a college edu but she said no.... and then they opened in our town. Big money makers those three.
Basically, stuff I've seen in the midwest 5-10 years ago is now coming into the northeast. and probably the west too (but I wouldn't know).
if anything... i'd say spend the money to travel to OH/MI and see what people like before you make a decisions. 1-2k for a vacation and you get to see what people like around the country. see where the chains are spreading. that small amount of travel expense will make or save you more than i can say.
ps.. ohio's where they do all their food testing i think.
