The 2016 presidential election has truly been one for the books, but when the dust settles, America will have a new president - and that means a new leader who will have an impact on the franchise restaurant industry.

In the October issue of QSR Magazine, they took a look at five of the most important issues tied to this election, including labor regulations and their impact on the franchise industry.

&ldquo;Whether it&rsquo;s Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump or somebody else, they&rsquo;re going to figure out a way to navigate,&rdquo; Matthew Haller, senior vice president of communications and public affairs for the International Franchise Association, told QSR. &ldquo;But these regulations do have consequences.

&ldquo;I do think he would probably be better for business people. If I was just voting my business, my pocketbook, I would vote for Trump,&rdquo; he told QSR. &ldquo;But I&rsquo;m willing to give up more of my pocketbook and vote my conscience.&rdquo;
