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. Particularly in the labor space, the consequences are going to fall on the consumer, the employee, or the U.S. economy.&rdquo;

Additionally, issues like minimum wage, the appointment of a new Supreme Court justice, and tax reform will impact players in the franchise restaurant industry, including Wisconsin-based pizza franchise Toppers Pizza, which is closing in on 100 units across the U.S. Recently, Fortune magazine reported that in a survey of all Fortune 500 CEOs, 58 percent preferred Clinton over Trump - and <a href="http://www.toppersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=qsr-these-are-the-five-most-important-issues-tied-to-the-2016-presidential-election-7275#intro" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Toppers Pizza</a> founder and president, Scott Gittrich, repeated the hesitation over supporting Trump to QSR.

&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;
