We recently shared the results of our first-ever mid-year review of franchise sales performance across all major industries. And now for the first time, we have the performance data of the QSR & Fast Casual Restaurant segment specifically.

In our recorded webinar, we helped Franchisors gauge the current state of their business against the backdrop of the pandemic, providing much-needed insight into how well the Quick Service & Fast Casual Restaurant industry is rebounding, and what the outlook is for the rest of the year and into 2021.

The key findings from this analysis will help franchisors understand how they compare to peers across the spectrum and within their industry to make more-informed planning decisions possible.

Viewers will gain critical insights including:

  • The state of new franchise sales relative to expectations pre-COVID
  • How long QSR & Fast Casual businesses are taking from inquiry to close
  • A Breakdown of top lead sources by channel
  • The dramatic impact of the pandemic on Portal lead-to-deal conversion rates
