How much does a I and S FR franchise make?
I and S FR 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 headline figure is $919,941 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every food & beverage brand that discloses earnings in the Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
I and S FR 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 I and S FR's 5.5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a I and S FR franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "I and S FR franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $919,941 of revenue, a 5.5% royalty alone is about $50,597 a year before any other cost.
I and S FR lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for I and S FR. 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.
I and S FR closures & failure rate
Before you sign, I and S FR 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 I and S FR's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a food & beverage 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. I and S FR reports no franchised units open yet — there is no operating track record to churn.
Who owns I and S FR?
I and S FR's franchise is offered by I AND S FR LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), 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.
