Does this consulting/brokerage fee structure make sense for a QSR expansion project?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a consulting scope for a food/QSR chain looking at expansion into North Africa.

The work is not a full market feasibility study. The client already has general market data. The scope is more focused on identifying and assessing suitable local QSR operating companies / master franchise partners who could potentially handle investment, rollout, and operations.

The proposed structure is:

  • $8,000 fixed fee for a 21-day QSR operating-partner feasibility study
  • $25,000 project finalization fee if a suitable operating/master franchise partner is secured and the expansion moves forward

Does this pricing structure sound reasonable for this type of mandate, or would you structure the success/finalization fee differently?

Appreciate any thoughts from people with franchise, QSR, market-entry, or consulting experience.
