the cost

McDonald's

Initial Investment: $1,469,000 – $2,503,000
Franchise Fee: $45,000
Liquid Cash Requirement: $500,000
Net Worth Requirement: N/A
Ongoing Royalties: 4–5% of gross sales
Iconic but Capital-Intensive

Known as the gold standard in fast food franchising, McDonald’s offers unparalleled brand recognition. However, the high upfront costs and
significant liquid asset requirements make it inaccessible for many
first-time entrepreneurs.



KFC

Franchise Fee: $22,500–$45,000
Liquid Cash Requirement: $750,000
Net Worth Requirement: $1,500,000
Ongoing Royalties: 4–5% of gross sales
High Financial Barriers with Steady Returns

A well-established franchise, KFC requires franchisees to meet high
capital and liquid asset thresholds. Its parent company offers
operational and marketing support, making the investment worthwhile for qualified candidates.

And something else to consider. Your free time is
gone, never to be seen again. All waking hours will
be spent working in the store, supplies, payroll, and
dealing not only with customers but also your employees.
I'll just be a customer, thank you very much.

My cousin owns 2 McDonald's franchises. I should go check them out.
Maybe I can score some free burgers.

UK SUN:

Robot performs surgery on its own for first time powered by AI
Watch as a robot powered by ChatGPT's machine learning removes an
imitation gallbladder in first step towards 'autonomous' machines


"A robot has performed realistic surgery on its own.

Scientists report the machine successfully removed a gallbladder with
the expertise of a skilled human surgeon. US researchers said the robot
was watched as it performed a lengthy phase of a gallbladder removal on
a life-like patient. It was able to respond to and learn from voice
commands from the team just like a novice surgeon working with a
mentor...

‌
Axel Krieger, of Johns Hopkins University, said: "This advancement moves
us from robots that can execute specific surgical tasks to robots that
truly understand surgical procedures. This is a critical distinction
that brings us significantly closer to clinically viable autonomous
surgical systems that can work in the messy, unpredictable reality of
actual patient care..."
