When it comes to learning about the earning possibilities that come with a specific franchise brand, franchise candidates should read <a href="https://1851franchise.com/the-franchise-bible-item-19-2703090">Item 19 of its Franchise Disclosure Document</a>. This infamous section is referred to as “financial performance representations” and offers the best way to <a href="https://1851franchise.com/evaluating-potential-earnings-item-19-qa-2703118#stories">gauge the revenue potential of a franchise system</a> based on the results of the previous year. As a result, it is often the first page a candidate flips to when reviewing a brand’s FDD.“Item 19 is the only place where a franchisor can disclose how much franchisees make,” said Keith Gross, in-house counsel for the franchise brand <a href="https://koalainsulation.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-most-important-items-in-an-fdd-item-19-financial-performance-representations-2712072" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Koala Insulation</a>. “The unique thing about Item 19 is that it is presented at the discretion of the franchisor—it is not mandatory. While a franchisor is not required to make any FPRs, if they do, they must do so through Item 19. Franchisors are, with few exceptions, prohibited from providing any financial information that is not included in the FDD Item 19.”Unfortunately for first-time FDD readers, not all Item 19’s are created equal. <a href="https://1851franchise.com/pennstation/penn-stations-item-19-showcases-its-systems-strength-without-having-to-rely-on-third-party-delivery-systems-2710392">It is a case-by-case situation in which comparing numbers can be tricky</a>. For example, some companies may report on all store revenue while other brands may only show how corporate stores are performing in the section.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/5-reasons-why-item-19-is-important-in-a-franchise-disclosure-document-2708095#stories">There are important questions to ask when reading through an Item 19.</a> Franchisors aren’t trying to mislead people, but the data can be confusing. Because of that, prospective franchisees need to know what to look for.&nbsp;“Instead of discussing the success of one top-earner, Item 19 should, ideally, be used to quantify what the business is capable of doing as a whole,” said <a href="https://raintreesales.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-most-important-items-in-an-fdd-item-19-financial-performance-representations-2712072" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brent Dowling, CEO of franchise sales solution Raintree</a>. “The Federal Trade Commission requires that if the franchisors list any performance numbers, they must also show the number of actual units that have experienced those numbers compared to the entire sample size. Make sure to pay close attention to these numbers. If only a small percentage is hitting the high numbers, then the top producers are skewing the averages.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/top-5-things-to-know-about-item-19-2703545">Although a lack of Item 19 in the FDD can scare some candidates, it is not always a red flag.</a> Often, it is because the brand is in its infancy and doesn’t want to mislead potential candidates with unrealistic expectations. For example, the first three franchise locations in the same area are always going to be profitable. However, opening that same brand in a new location is going to be harder to build out.Prospects trying to evaluate how much they can make should study an Item 19 carefully, pay attention to exactly what’s being presented and, perhaps more importantly, what’s not being presented. Footnotes in Item 19 can offer additional information that can help explain exactly how the performance representation was calculated and what made up the data set or sample size.One red flag that may come up when reading the Item 19 is the presence of carefully crafted “classes of franchisees” in more established franchise systems. “With new systems having fewer than 10 locations, the franchisor must disclose information for all locations,” said Gross. “Although more established systems with a large number of locations are prohibited from cherry-picking data to improve their apparent performance, they are permitted to report on sub-classes of franchisees (e.g. all franchisees open for greater than 36 months and offering all services offered under the system). This may narrow the report down to the most successful franchisees. A prospective franchisee should understand those subclasses and learn more about the excluded information.”&nbsp;All in all, Item 19 is meant to provide a generalized, ballpark assessment of the general mechanics of the business model—<a href="https://1851franchise.com/top-5-trends-to-watch-in-franchise-disclosure-documents-this-year-2709320#stories">profitability structure, potential revenue, range in revenue</a>—to give an overview of whether or not the business plan is close to what the candidate is looking to acquire.&nbsp;For a deeper understanding, franchisees should develop a list of questions and call as many franchisees in the system as possible to ask about their experience and financial performance, or at a minimum verify the information in Item 19. This, plus a fair amount of due diligence, will ensure the franchise candidate has the information they need to move forward with the big decision.

Kourie’s experience opening and operating locations in multiple markets will help the brand as it enters new territories."Lawrence has built and operated one of the fastest-expanding restaurant concepts in the country, but what stands out is his disciplined approach to growth and brand integrity," said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrence-longo-342856/?skipRedirect=true">Lawrence Longo</a>, CEO of Prince St. Pizza.

According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260312305776/en/RF-Expands-Residential-and-Commercial-Services-Portfolio-with-Investment-in-Precision-Garage-Door-Service-Franchisee">recent release</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://rf-partners.com/">RF Investment Partners</a>, a group focused on flexible capital solutions and value-add support to lower-middle-market businesses, has teamed up with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.burlingtoncp.us/">Burlington Capital Partners</a>, a group focused on family, founder and operator-owned lower-middle-market businesses, to acquire a prominent multi-territory&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.neighborly.com/precision-door">Precision Garage Door Service</a> franchise.The investment marks the seventh platform for RF within the service space. Precision Garage Door Service, which is part of the larger&nbsp;<a href="https://www.neighborly.com/">Neighborly</a> ecosystem, specializes in the installation, maintenance and repair of garage doors.&nbsp;“We are proud to partner with management and the Burlington team to support continued growth by investing in people and operational excellence,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-fidler-6787143">Peter Fidler</a>, managing partner and co-founder of RF Investment Partners, said in the release. “The sector continues to present compelling opportunities given the essential nature of garage door repair, and we look forward to building on Precision’s strong foundation to drive long-term value.”This deal is part of the broader trend toward institutionalized multi-unit and multi-territory operators. Previously, franchising was largely viewed as the place for “mom-and-pop” businesses. And while franchises remain small, local businesses, the aggressive entry of private equity firms focused on operators (franchisees) rather than the brand (franchisor) is bringing new energy to small business ownership.Read the full release&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260312305776/en/RF-Expands-Residential-and-Commercial-Services-Portfolio-with-Investment-in-Precision-Garage-Door-Service-Franchisee">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

Artificial intelligence is changing how work gets done in industries ranging from finance and customer service to software development. As that shift accelerates, more professionals are asking which careers will hold up best over time. New research suggests the answer may be found in an unexpected corner of the economy: the skilled trades.<a href="https://www.anthropic.com/research/labor-market-impacts">A recent study</a> from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.anthropic.com/company">Anthropic</a> analyzing real-world AI usage across occupations found that the roles most exposed to automation are concentrated in white-collar, information-based professions such as computer programming, data entry and financial analysis. By contrast, many occupations requiring physical skill, real-world diagnostics and on-site service remain far less exposed to AI automation.For industries built around hands-on work - including plumbing, HVAC, electrical services and restoration - the findings reinforce what operators across the trades have long understood: while artificial intelligence can assist with planning and data analysis, it cannot replace the skilled technicians who keep homes and businesses running.<h2>The Limits of Automation in Physical Work</h2>The Anthropic research introduces a new metric called “observed exposure,” which combines theoretical AI capabilities with real-world usage patterns. While many digital tasks show high exposure to automation, a significant share of occupations still have little or no measurable AI coverage.In fact, roughly 30% of workers in the study had jobs with no observable AI exposure at all. Many of those occupations involve physical labor or real-time problem solving in unpredictable environments - the kinds of tasks that cannot easily be automated through software.Repairing a failing HVAC system, diagnosing a plumbing leak or troubleshooting an electrical panel requires a combination of technical expertise, situational awareness and physical presence. These factors make the skilled trades structurally different from many information-based roles currently seeing higher levels of automation exposure.At the same time, according to research outlets like the CSIS, the demand for skilled trades&nbsp;<a href="https://www.csis.org/analysis/genais-human-infrastructure-challenge-can-united-states-meet-skilled-trade-labor-demand">continues to grow.</a> Aging housing stock, expanding suburban development and increased homeownership have created sustained demand for professional home services across the United States.<h2>AI Is Augmenting the Trades - Not Replacing Them</h2>While the trades may be resistant to direct automation, that does not mean they are untouched by technological change. In fact, many service businesses are adopting new digital tools to improve operations, streamline scheduling and provide better customer experiences.Artificial intelligence is playing more of a support role in the trades than a replacement role. Scheduling tools can help optimize routes, cut down drive time and improve response speeds, while automated call systems can handle customer inquiries and dispatch requests more efficiently. Data platforms also give franchise owners greater visibility into business performance, helping them manage teams and improve service quality.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-clemente-b4244539/">Steve Clemente</a>, president and chief operations officer of trade brands at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.authoritybrands.com/">Authority Brands</a>, says this shift reflects a broader evolution happening across the home services sector.“Artificial intelligence isn’t replacing skilled tradespeople - it’s helping business owners operate more efficiently,” Clemente said. “Technology can streamline scheduling, improve communication with customers and give owners better visibility into their businesses. But the work itself still depends on trained technicians solving real problems in real homes.”<h2>Technology Supporting a Growing Workforce</h2>Authority Brands, one of North America’s leading home services franchisors, supports more than 1,000 franchise owners operating across over 2,700 territories through brands including&nbsp;<a href="https://benjaminfranklinplumbingfranchise.com/">Benjamin Franklin Plumbing</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mistersparkyfranchise.com/">Mister Sparky Electric</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://onehourheatandairfranchise.com/">One Hour Heating &amp; Air Conditioning</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://drymedicfranchise.com/">DRYMedic Restoration</a>.Across the system, technology platforms are increasingly being used to support franchise owners as they grow their businesses and manage complex operations.Digital platforms allow service teams to track jobs in real time, analyze performance metrics and communicate more effectively with customers. These tools help franchise owners scale their businesses while maintaining consistent service standards across markets.At the same time, the human element remains central to the industry. While Authority Brands continues to invest in technology tools, there is an equal emphasis on training and resources that ensure technicians are prepared to perform at a high level in the field. Diagnosing mechanical failures, responding to emergency repairs, and building trust with homeowners still requires the kind of judgment and experience that can only be developed through hands-on training and real-world application.“Technology gives operators better tools, but the foundation of the business is still the technician in the field,” Clemente said. “The trades combine technical skill, physical work and customer experience - and that combination is very difficult for automation to replicate.”<h2>A Career Path Gaining New Attention</h2>As concerns about automation grow in white-collar industries, the resilience of the trades is beginning to attract broader attention.Anthropic’s research suggests that many of the occupations most exposed to AI are also among the most educated and highest paid professions today - raising new questions about long-term job security in those fields.The skilled trades, meanwhile, are dealing with a different issue: not enough workers. Industry groups and labor forecasts continue to show a need for hundreds of thousands of additional technicians in the coming decade as veteran workers retire and service demand keeps growing.For many professionals exploring career transitions or business ownership opportunities, the trades are becoming an increasingly attractive option.“The home services industry has always been essential, but we’re seeing more people recognize the long-term stability it offers,” Clemente said. “These are businesses rooted in local communities, solving problems that homeowners will always have. Technology can make the work more efficient, but the demand for skilled technicians isn’t going away.”<h2>A Technology-Enabled Future for the Trades</h2>If anything, the rise of artificial intelligence may reinforce the long-term importance of skilled trades rather than diminish it.While digital technologies will continue to reshape how service businesses operate, the work itself will remain deeply human. Skilled technicians will continue to diagnose problems, install systems and maintain the infrastructure that modern life depends on.In that sense, the future of the trades may represent a powerful example of how technology and human expertise can work together.&nbsp;As automation advances across the broader economy, the industries that combine technical skill, physical work and customer service may prove to be among the most resilient of all.For more information on franchise trends, check out these related articles on 1851 Franchise:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847#stories">AI Is Reshaping Franchising: $100 Billion Valuations and Hyper-Localized Advertising</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/ai-unemployment-impact-white-collar-job-loss-2729492#stories">AI Could Push Unemployment to 20% — Fueling a Surge in First-Time Franchise Buyers</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/2026-layoffs-corporate-escapee-franchise-opportunities-2731323#stories">Mass Layoffs Are Destabilizing the Labor Landscape; Corporate Escapees May Turn to Franchising as Their Next Step</a></li></ul>

Research from Anthropic shows that hands-on careers requiring physical skill and real-world diagnostics remain far less exposed to AI automation than many white-collar professions. 

<a href="https://www.yum.com/wps/portal/yumbrands/Yumbrands/">Yum! Brands</a> is considering a potential sale of Pizza Hut and plans to close 250 underperforming U.S. locations, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/consumer-services/nyse-yum/yum-brands/news/yum-brands-weighs-pizza-hut-sale-as-portfolio-reset-accelera">recent article on Simply Wall St</a>. For the franchising industry, the significance is less about the stock and more about what it says about how large franchisors are managing brand portfolios in a high-cost operating environment.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pizza-hut-franchise-deep-dive-2722519">Pizza Hut</a> is one of the most recognizable names in franchising. If Yum! decides to sell it, that would be a notable shift for a company built on a multi-brand platform. For years, large brand groups have argued that operating multiple concepts creates advantages, including shared resources, stronger purchasing power and the ability to invest in technology across the system. A sale would suggest Yum! believes those benefits no longer outweigh the effort required to improve Pizza Hut’s performance.The planned closures may have the most immediate impact on franchisees. When a franchisor reduces its footprint, it can change how the brand performs in local markets. Fewer locations can mean less convenience for customers, which can hurt overall traffic. It can also weaken the effect of local advertising when there are fewer restaurants supporting promotions in the same trade area.Closures can also affect store-level economics in ways that go beyond the locations that shut down. In some markets, remaining franchisees may pick up some displaced demand. In others, customers may switch to competitors. The changes can also affect local co-op advertising budgets and, depending on how purchasing and distribution are structured, can influence costs tied to volume.The move comes as competition in pizza remains intense, with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-dominos-pizza-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2725506">Domino’s</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-papa-johns-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724607">Papa Johns</a> continuing to push delivery, digital ordering and value-focused offers. Simply Wall St notes Yum! has been rolling out its Byte digital platform across brands. If Yum! changes Pizza Hut’s role in the portfolio, it could also change where the company focuses its technology and marketing investment.For franchise systems watching from the outside, Yum!’s review is a reminder that growth is not always the main priority. Sometimes the bigger decision is whether a legacy brand can be improved inside a platform or whether it will perform better under a different owner and a different plan.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/consumer-services/nyse-yum/yum-brands/news/yum-brands-weighs-pizza-hut-sale-as-portfolio-reset-accelera">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential.
