What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total franchise rental revenues for January 2025 were $116,546. This figure represents the income Del Taco received from franchisees specifically for renting or leasing property to them. This revenue stream is separate from royalties, advertising contributions, and company restaurant sales.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that Del Taco derives a significant portion of its revenue from leasing property to its franchisees. This may mean that franchisees are leasing the restaurant location from Del Taco, rather than owning the property themselves. This arrangement can simplify the process of opening a franchise, as the franchisee does not need to secure real estate independently.
It's important to note that this figure only represents one month, and revenues may fluctuate throughout the year. Additionally, this number does not reflect Del Taco's expenses related to owning or leasing the properties. A potential franchisee should consider these rental revenues in the context of the overall financial performance of Del Taco and the specific terms of the lease agreement offered to franchisees.
