Buffett-Fit: 77/100
Restaurant chains compound through franchise economics + same-store-sales growth + unit count expansion. The franchise model (McDonald's, Yum) is asset-light + high-return; the company-owned model (Chipotle, Starbucks) trades higher capital intensity for tighter quality control. Watch unit economics per location + franchisee-renewal rates.
