 While Burger King still utilizes a version of its revamped franchising system in the United States , outside of North America its international locations licenses are still sold on a regional basis with franchises owning exclusive development rights for a region or country . These regional franchises are known as master franchises , and are responsible for opening new restaurants , licensing new third party operators , and performing standards oversight of all restaurant locations in these countries ; one of the larger examples of a master franchise is Hungry Jack 's , which oversees over 300 restaurants in Australia .
