I actually don’t see it that way. Often a franchise will vet the owner, provide setup assistance, provide location recommendations, train employees, etc. That doesn’t occur in all cases, but arguably most franchises do this and it’s part of the initial fees.

Plus, the national will often pick up all or a large portion of advertising costs.

In many franchise documents I've seen, those costs are shared by the franchises and charged out separately from the royalties. Same for IT expenses and the like.
