Company Operated Sales (USD Mil) is the total sales from the restaurants operated by the company instead of by franchisees.

In the restaurant business, when a company decides to open a new store, it can either sell franchises or expand on its own. When the company decides to franchise, it sells its proven business system and brand to an investor. For example, an already successful restaurant can transfer the business model and brand to investors in other towns. If the main business decides to expand on its own, it buys the equipment and real estate necessary for expansion. With franchises, individual business owners control quality in an independent location.

One of the key differences between franchise and chain stores is the amount of risk involved. When a company chooses to expand with chain stores, it assumes all of the risks on its own. It funds the entire expansion project. By comparison, when a company franchises, it passes some of the risks onto other investors. Franchising represents less risk for the parent company, but it shifts the risk to the franchisee.
