Our business is granting franchises to let people, like you. Operate AFC' food service counters.

Full-time food service, counters allow you to operate a food service counter as a department of a retail supermarket or in another kind of location, like a college campus or arena on a full time basis. In some instances, we may permit you to operate at these facilities on a part-time basis. In part-time locations, you,are not required to be personally present or have a manager personaily present at the food service counter more than four hours per day . We currently drt ly permit franchisees to operate a part-time location if they already own a full time food service location.
