Food & beverage franchises — frequently asked
What is the best food & beverage franchise?
"Best" is a claim the FDD numbers have to back: we rank food & beverage brands that disclose Item 19 earnings AND beat the category's median closure rate. 7 Brew currently tops that list with a 0% franchised-outlet closure rate; 15 food & beverage brands qualify. See Best Food & beverage franchises by the FDD numbers.
How much does a food & beverage franchise cost?
The median total initial investment across the 384 food & beverage franchises we track is $372,000 (FDD Item 7); individual brands range widely — the table on this page shows each one. The lowest-cost brands are ranked in Cheapest Food & beverage franchises to open.
Which food & beverage franchises disclose earnings?
148 of 384 food & beverage franchises (39%) make an Item 19 financial performance representation in their most recent FDD — franchisor-disclosed unit earnings, not estimates. See Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
What is the failure rate of food & beverage franchises?
Across the 145 food & beverage brands with parsed outlet tables, the median franchised-outlet closure rate is 2.2% (FDD Item 20 — closures, terminations and non-renewals, the closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate). 45 of the 300 with net-change data shrank in the latest reported year.

Featured food & beverage franchise — placement open
One sponsored slot per category, and it's data-gated: a brand must disclose Item 19 earnings and beat the category's median closure rate to hold it. Sponsorship is always labeled and never changes a ranking, a risk read, or a report — the data on this site is not for sale. Franchisor inquiries: [email protected].
This report compiles and structures publicly filed Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) data from state franchise registrations. It is not legal, financial, or investment advice, is not affiliated with or endorsed by any franchisor, and does not replace reading the full FDD or consulting a franchise attorney or accountant. All figures are as disclosed by the franchisor in its most recent registered FDD. Item 19 financial performance representations are made at the franchisor’s option and may be absent or limited.
