Friendly Franchisees Corporation is an administrative-services company based in Buena Park, California, that provides back-office support to quick-service restaurants and related real estate holdings without owning the underlying businesses. It offers a range of administrative functions—including accounting, financial, legal, human resources, MIS, insurance, real estate management, and payroll through third-party providers—to support franchise networks and affiliated operations. Its current brand portfolio includes Carl's Jr., Green Burrito, Papa John's Pizza, and Denny's; through its affiliates, it administers a substantial portion of Carl's Jr./Carl's Jr.-Green Burrito locations in Southern California, plus select Papa John's locations in Southern California and Denny's restaurants in Washington, positioning itself as a major centralized back-office partner.

The company has described growth as derived from acquiring additional restaurants and developing existing and new concepts, aiming to scale its administrative platform to support up to about 250 locations. In April 2026, Friendly Franchisees Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a development affecting its operations and affiliated entities.
