Methodology
We rank by judge-verified median revenue where available, falling back to the legacy "average revenue" extraction for brands without a current median. Median is the franchisor's own Item 19 disclosure; we extracted it from the FDD with our structured-extraction pipeline (Haiku 4.5 extractor, Sonnet 4.5 judge — different model families to reduce shared bias). The ✓ mark means the judge confirmed the value against the source FDD chunk.
The revenue-to-investment ratio = headline revenue ÷ midpoint of Item 7 investment range — a first-pass proxy for capital efficiency, not a measure of operator profit. Item 19 disclosure is voluntary; franchises that don't disclose are excluded from this leaderboard. See our companion FDD Disclosure Transparency Report for which industries disclose and which don't.
Cite this. Please attribute figures to "VetMyFranchise, Franchise AUV Leaderboard 2026" and link to this page.
AUV is the starting point, not the verdict. For one brand's exact Item 19 distribution, fees, litigation, and a buyer verdict, our full 12-section FDD analysis is $49 per report, or three for $99.
