I'm not sure about the standard joining rules, but I can give you some general joining practices for your reference. Generally speaking, the so-called franchise stores have to charge the franchise fee, which means giving it to others for nothing. As for how much the franchise fee is charged, it depends entirely on the rhetoric of the franchisee. Only after receiving the initial fee can we cooperate in the future.

My advice to the landlord is: first, we must be clear about the relevant qualifications of the registered party, such as business license and tax registration certificate. Second, carefully observe its operating conditions, whether it is as good as the franchisee said. Third, inspect the local market situation, and at the same time inspect the operation of other chain stores in many aspects, so as to be aware of it.

Investment must be cautious! (Like chain stores, most of them are not standardized in management. As long as they have received the initial fee, they seldom give detailed guidance in their business. Speaking of this, the landlord should understand that no matter whether your store is profitable in the future, at least the franchisee has made a profit before you. )

Good luck, landlord.
