Yes it does. From the company's Franchise Opportunities page:
Become an Operator
Our franchised Operators are the backbone of the Chick-fil-A chain. Chick-fil-A, Inc. stands ready to support each franchisee and to honor our heritage by fostering their dreams. Taking that commitment seriously, we are looking for long-term partners who are a good fit–and we know our Operators are, too.
It's certainly not unknown for a franchisor to own sites and lease them to franchisees. McDonald's is famous for the practice.
Look, you can (and they can) call it a franchise all you want. They are basically operators. The operator pays only $10,000, and doesn’t own the building. They don’t “own” anything. They have no equity, and can be fired at any time. (There are instances of this happening when a few tried to open on Sundays). They are basically employees.
Look at the link you cited..... “Become an Operator”. Not an “owner-operator” — an “Operator”.
