Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Chili's Grill & Bar's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

What it really costs
Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range
| Expense | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Initial franchise fee | $60,000 | $60,000 |
| Total initial investment | $1,800,000 | $6,400,000 |
Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.
One of the most expensive to open among food and beverage franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (372 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.
Earnings disclosure
Does the franchisor share performance data? No
This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against food and beverage brands that do disclose one.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a Chili's Grill & Bar franchise cost?
Chili's Grill & Bar's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $1.8M–$6.4M. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $60,000, and is included in that range.
Does Chili's Grill & Bar disclose earnings (Item 19)?
No. Chili's Grill & Bar makes no financial performance representation in its FDD. Item 19 is the only optional item under the FTC Franchise Rule, so omitting it is lawful and common — but it means the franchisor publishes no revenue or profit figures for its outlets, and any figure quoted elsewhere is not from the filing.
