Key takeaways
- We only list a brand if its own website invites franchise enquiries in Pakistan. Checked on 22 October 2026.
- Food and café brands with franchise pages include Broadway Pizza, Gloria Jean's Coffees, Chaaye Khana, Ginsoy and O'Brownies (through Strategic Synergy).
- Outside food, Bata, Servis and Stylo (retail) and TCS and Leopards (courier) take franchise applications.
- KFC, McDonald's, Subway, Domino's, Burger King and Tim Hortons are each run in Pakistan by one operator, so they are not sold outlet by outlet to individuals.
- Only a few brands publish figures. Ask every franchisor for a full cost breakdown in writing.
Most "franchises in Pakistan" lists online are directories of global brands with US cost figures attached, many of which aren't available to investors here at all. This list is different: we only include a brand if its own website invites franchise enquiries in Pakistan, and we only quote figures the brand publishes itself.
How we built this list
- Checked brands' official websites on 22 October 2026.
- Included a brand only where its own site has a franchise page or application form for Pakistan.
- Quoted costs only where the brand publishes them. Where it doesn't, we say so.
- Left out brands whose franchise links were broken, missing or contradictory.
Franchise programmes open and close. Always confirm directly with the brand before you rely on anything here.

| McDonald's | SIZA Foods |
| Subway | Blue Sub (exclusive master franchisee, 2026) |

| Tim Hortons | Blue Foods |

Choosing a food franchise in Pakistan
Food is the largest franchise category in Pakistan, and formats vary a lot in what they ask of you:
- Café and dessert concepts usually need a smaller site and a simpler kitchen than a full restaurant, and trade across the day and late into the evening.
- Pizza and fast food rely heavily on delivery and promotions, with bigger kitchens and more staff.
- Bakeries need production space and early starts, and depend on repeat local customers.
How to compare franchises
| Ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Total investment, line by line | The franchise fee is rarely the biggest cost |
| Royalty and marketing fees | A few percent of sales, every month, for years |
| Results of existing outlets | The best evidence of what yours might do |
| Who runs the outlet | Owner-operated needs your time; company-operated doesn't |
| Training and support | What you get before and after opening |
| Territory and exit terms | Protection from cannibalisation, and a way out |

As of October 2026, brands whose official websites invite franchise enquiries include Broadway Pizza, Gloria Jean's Coffees, Chaaye Khana, Ginsoy, O'Brownies (through Strategic Synergy), Bata, Servis, Stylo, TCS and Leopards Courier. Availability changes, so confirm directly with the brand.
Which food franchise is best in Pakistan?

It varies widely. Gloria Jean's Coffees Pakistan quotes about Rs 50 million; Broadway Pizza's form lists investment capital options of PKR 20–45 million; O'Brownies café outlets come in brackets from under PKR 25 million to PKR 50 million.
