Burger King Franchise Revenue (2026 FDD)
In Item 19 of its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, Burger King reports average Sales (Traditional Franchisee-Owned) of $1,692,549 (January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, 4,730 traditional franchisee-owned restaurants open and operating for the entire twelve-month period; company-owned restaurants excluded). The figures below are selected disclosures, not a substitute for reading the full Item 19.
Startup cost: the printed Item 7 totals and expense lines do not reconcile. See the printed figures in the Burger King cost breakdown.
Does Burger King’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. Burger King’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Selected Traditional franchisee-owned sales distribution, not consolidated/company-owned, non-traditional or remodel-uplift results. PDF pages 105-106 give 4,730 eligible franchised restaurants and 1,017 company restaurants; permanent closures, temporary closures and new openings not operating for the entire calendar year are excluded. Gross Sales includes the specified receipts and premiums but excludes sales taxes; reports rely on franchisees' submitted sales information. No costs of sales, operating expenses or other costs have been deducted; these are not net profit, owner pay or a sales forecast. Source inconsistencies require clarification: page 102's eligible-population introduction gives 5,345 franchised/1,090 company restaurants, while pages 105-106 list traditional plus non-traditional sample counts totalling 5,360 franchised/1,048 company restaurants. The traditional ending count and listed exclusions also differ by one from the printed eligible count. The introduction's permanently closed count differs from the format-specific footnotes. Printed samples and selected dollar figures are retained, not reconciled by guessing. The distribution heading says percentage of restaurants, but Note 3 describes percentage of total sales; no sales-band percentage is represented here as an owner's probability.
