How to approach it
Work from the map outward rather than from the menu inward. Picture a country you know well and jot down the counter-service names that locals treat as ordinary, then ask which of them also turn up abroad; running that sweep across two or three markets sorts the genuinely international operators from the domestic favourites. Next, step down a tier, because regional groups that have spread into a neighbouring country tend to land in the sweet spot between recognition and rarity. Keep a shortlist and drop anything you cannot place in a second country with confidence, since the scoring rewards accuracy as much as obscurity.
Get a hint
Begin with the places where you eat at a counter or take the food away, the sort of sign that locals treat as completely unremarkable, and note which of those you have also seen beyond the border.
A little more
Then narrow to operators whose footprint is small enough that most players will never call them out, yet wide enough to have crossed into a second market.
One step further
The sweet spot is a regional group trading in two or three neighbouring countries, a household word at home and practically invisible anywhere else.

Why these answers count
Of the 786 recorded entries, 756 cleared the sixty-point threshold and 677 of those sit on 85, so the middle of the pack is filled with modestly sized operators rather than household names. Just one answer reached 100, the lone pick at the farthest edge of the tail. The published examples show the shape of it: Coffee-Bike holds that 100, while % Arabica, 100 Montaditos, 4Fingers Crispy Chicken and 5 to go each take 85. Global giants stay valid and are certainly recorded, yet because nearly every player names them they cannot earn much, and the thirty entries outside the top band are almost certainly where those duplicated picks land. Rarity does most of the work: a genuine two-country footprint that few rivals recall outscores a worldwide brand everyone can recite.
