Does Jack in the Box’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. Jack in the Box’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees such as the royalty (5% of Gross Sales other than Games and Devices) come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Item 19 separates ordinary Continental U.S. Restaurants from C-Store/Travel Plaza sites. The selected total is the larger ordinary-site franchised sample, not all system outlets. It excludes new, closed, transferred or insufficient-data Restaurants and sites outside the Continental U.S. Selected operating-cost tables omit material expenses, including interest, income tax, overhead and owner compensation; no net profit is inferred. Franchisee financial information is unaudited.
How to interpret Jack in the Box’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
Games and Devices revenue has a separate royalty base. Rent applies under a particular lease arrangement, and several technology and transaction charges may change. The FDD does not provide the sales and transaction mix needed to calculate every continuing charge from the Item 19 gross-sales average. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected Jack in the Box disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 1,754 franchised Restaurants in the Continental U.S. open for the full period, excluding C-Store/Travel Plaza sites and other exclusions in Item 19. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.
