Price comparison sites are a very useful tool for online shoppers. Hence, even big companies are wanting to have their own price comparison sites

Yahoo bought Kelkoo, a leading European price comparison service, in 2004
eBay acquired Shopping.com in 2005 for about $620 million
Experian acquired PriceGrabber also in 2005 for $485 million

Notice the price tags these big boys paid for the price comparison sites.

Your challenge will be creating a search engine that will gather the price information from the online stores. And that will be a TOUGH challenge.

If you have the programming skills or the deep resources you need, this is a very good space. But if not, it will be extremely hard to make it work — unless you focus on niches (e.g price comparison site for baby goods only)

I can't tell you from first hand experience but this is what I think.
for your site to really be useful and competitive it needs to be updated at the time of query, that is everytime anyone asks for a price and items. I think this is important because of the changes that prices undergo almost in a daily basis. I have seen prices change many times in a day.
One of the best sites for me in this regard is http://Nextag.com.
This is just my opinion and I hope it helps. Good luck!

As a new business, it will be impossible for you to compete on price with the established franchises.

The best possible chance of success is to find a niche market within the fast food sector and exploit it. Find a new type of fast food or focus on quality over price. Don't try and compete on the same playing field as the big boys, build your own playing field.
