Full-service restaurant franchises ranked by average revenue

15 full-service restaurant franchises ranked by the average unit revenue they disclose in FDD Item 19. Revenue is not profit — it is sales before royalties, rent, labor and the ad fund come out. Every figure is read from the brand's most recent FDD — not marketing copy.
