How much does a JDV by Hyatt franchise make?
JDV by Hyatt is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every other brand that discloses earnings in the Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
JDV by Hyatt franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come JDV by Hyatt's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a JDV by Hyatt franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "JDV by Hyatt franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
JDV by Hyatt lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
JDV by Hyatt's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
JDV by Hyatt closures & failure rate
Before you sign, JDV by Hyatt will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what JDV by Hyatt's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a franchise of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. JDV by Hyatt's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 16.7%. Net franchised outlets moved +2 to 8 in the latest reported year.
Who owns JDV by Hyatt?
JDV by Hyatt's franchise is offered by HYATT FRANCHISING LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
