    BurgerFi vs Cupbop

    Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.

    Before you compare

    • BurgerFi figures come from its 2025 FDD and Cupbop figures from its 2026 FDD, so the years differ.
    • BurgerFi discloses more than one business format, so the investment range spans formats; the full report breaks them out.
    • Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (BurgerFi: 12, Cupbop: 15). Different groups are not directly comparable.
