From their website: www.mcdonalds.com/ca/en-ca/…/the-financials.html
During the term of the franchise, fees paid to McDonald’s for each restaurant, include:
Royalty: 4%-5% of monthly gross sales
Rent: a monthly base rent and/or percentage rent that is a percentage of monthly gross sales.
License Fee: a one time fee of $45,000 is paid for 20-year term.

But according to other sites:
www.franchiseba.com/mcdonalds-franchise/
That doesn’t include marketing fees, so its more like 8%+ of gross sales, not profit, which is a lot! On top of tons of other fees.
