How much does a VeganBurg franchise make?
VeganBurg 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 average revenue VeganBurg reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against quick-service restaurant peers are in the full report. See every quick-service restaurant brand that discloses earnings in the Fast food & quick-service restaurant franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
VeganBurg 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 VeganBurg's 65% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a VeganBurg franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "VeganBurg franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets VeganBurg's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.
VeganBurg lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for VeganBurg. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
VeganBurg closures & failure rate
Before you sign, VeganBurg 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 VeganBurg's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a quick-service restaurant 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. VeganBurg's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how VeganBurg's churn ranks against quick-service restaurant peers, are in the full report.

Who owns VeganBurg?
VeganBurg's franchise is offered by VeganBurg LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
