They will train the staff. But you will be paying them.

McDonalds also expect you to buy raw materials from them, and also pay them a franchisee fee every year.

On top of that, you are paying rent to McDonalds or to a shipping mall. Either way, you are looking at RM50000-100000 in rent per month.

Mid valley Lower Ground rental for a standard size lot is around RM100k per month, if I am not wrong.

Renovations is also via McDonalds approval and the kitchen equipment MUST come from McDonalds. This will be an additional RM300-500k depending on the size of the lot.

Then, there is the initial franchising fee of a few million to kickstart your first restaurant. You can find out more by writing to McDonalds.
