Arby's Franchise Model Overview

Arby's operates in the quick-service segment with a menu built around roast beef, sandwiches, and sides, and most locations are free-standing with a drive-thru. Arby's typically requires experienced multi-unit restaurant operators for new development. In late 2025 the franchisor transferred more than 100 company restaurants to franchisees — a refranchising move that can create resale and multi-unit opportunities in the markets involved.
