Rolls operates on an entrepreneur-driven franchising principle, primarily using a store-within-a-store concept alongside other businesses. Most of the restaurants are located in shopping centers or service stations. The chain does not charge entrepreneurs a joining fee or impose penalties for terminating the agreement.[9][5]
