How much does an Jack In The Box franchisee make?

As with any new franchise, there should be a strong ROI and profit potential. The specific franchisee's income and the revenue from an Jack In The Box franchise will depend on many factors. One way to confirm the potential revenues or profits earned from a Jack In The Box franchise investment is to analzye the franchisor's Item 19 within their Franchise Disclosure Document. This is called a financial performance representation. This is not required within a franchisor's disclosure and approximately 68% of all franchise companies in our database will disclose financial performance data within Item 19 of their FDD. Some franchise companies may disclose limited information such as overall systemwide sales. This type of financial data is not always helpful to determine profitability for you directly. So review systemwide sales data with caution. As expected, usually earnings and owner's income are equitable to the overall size of the initial investment. The larger the initial investment, the higher profits you should expect to see. Another determining factor to profitability is based on the number of locations you own. If you buy multiple units (usually defined as Area Development Agreements), you can anticipate that as you launch each additional location, you will earn a multiple on your profits. Demand for your products, the labor costs in your city, commercial lease rates and several other variables also play a huge role in your bottom line and your take-home income. Your future returns are associated with Jack In The Box's success. Your profits and owner's income is not just dependent on how well your own location performs, you need to review how well the entire franchise system is operating. Determine how the franchisor earns income and review their financial statements.

Based on 2018 FDD information, Jack In The Box has franchised locations in 40 states. There may be zero outlets in several states as each franchise company maps out their growth strategy differently. Certain states require franchisors to register their franchise opportunity and file their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) with state examiners prior to awarding franchises to people residing in that state. These registration states have examiners review a franchise company's FDD to confirm it satisfies state regulatory requirements. In addition to registration states, additional states have enacted supplemental franchise or business opportunity laws that mandate franchisors to file their franchise within the state. In most instances the filing is simply a notice with the state. Unlike franchise registration states, the franchise filing states do not examine the FDD.
