- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed. The franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Verdict A (Top Quintile) with a risk score of 47/100.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Dailybeer franchise?
The total investment to open a Dailybeer franchise ranges from $430K – $809K, with an initial franchise fee of $100K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Dailybeer franchise owners earn?
Dailybeer does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Dailybeer's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Dailybeer (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
Is Dailybeer a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Dailybeer as a A-grade franchise with a risk score of 47 out of 100, based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
