The Top Pizza Franchises of 2021
The United States
I recently learned that a profit margin of 7 percent is the average for the pizzeria industry. If this statistic holds true, it means that a typical pizzeria that is doing $10,000 in sales per week for $520,000 in annual sales will only generate $36,400 in profit. Wow, my mid-level managers make more than that!
Pro: You can earn a decent income On average, franchise owners earn $60,000 a year, according to the jobs website CareerBliss. Of course, that means many franchise owners make more — and many make less.
10 of the most profitable franchises in 2021
For those who want to become part of a franchise, there is one common question: Is entering a franchise worth it? The short answer: yes, if you and the franchisor do your parts. You will have a lot of business advantages when you decide to franchise. However, there is heavy financial risk, as with any new business.
Some McDonald’s franchise owners are naturally going to make more than others, but most franchise owners still pull in an estimated yearly profit of roughly $150,000 (via Fox Business).

According to the franchise information group, Franchise City, a Chick-fil-A operator today can expect to earn an average of around $200,000 a year.
Opening a Chick-fil-A franchise costs between $342,990 and $1,982,225, including a $10,000 franchise fee, but unlike most other franchisors, Chick-fil-A covers all opening expenses, meaning franchisees are on the hook only for that $10,000.

The franchisee only pays the $10k franchise fee. Chick-fil-A pays for (and retains ownership of) everything — real estate, equipment, inventory — and in return, it takes a MUCH bigger piece of the pie. While a franchise like KFC takes 5% of sales, Chick-fil-A commands 15% of sales + 50% of any profit.
The total investment necessary to begin operation of a traditional McDonald’s franchise ranges from $1,008,000 to $2,214,080. This includes an initial franchise fee of $45,000.00 that must be paid to the franchisor.
Operators pay an initial $10,000 fee to be “granted the rights necessary to operate a franchised Chick-fil-A,” according to the company website. That’s compared to other fast-food chains where franchisees can invest hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars to open a restaurant, industry experts said.
