Each franchisee answered 33 benchmark questions ranking their franchise in the areas of financial opportunity, training and support, leadership, operations and product development, core values, general satisfaction, and the franchisee community. An additional 16 questions covered market area, demographics, business lifestyle, overall enjoyment running the franchise, and role in the franchisee community. From this data, the list of top low-cost franchises with the highest franchisee satisfaction was identified.

It also shows franchisors where they are doing well and where improvements can be made, information they use to strengthen their systems.”
