Score breakdown · what drove the 88 / 100 rating
- 01MEDUnit count declined 25% YoY (8 units down from ~10-11), indicating system contraction and potential franchisee struggles
- 02MEDAverage net income not disclosed in Item 19, preventing ROI validation and raising transparency concerns
- 03MINORRoyalty structure caps at $4,000/month but allows 10% of gross revenue — at $789k avg revenue, franchisees pay ~$7,890/month (nearly double the cap), creating high ongoing cost burden
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($186k-$259k) relative to average revenue ($789k) means 23-33% of annual revenue consumed just to break even on franchise fee amortization
- 05MINORRelatively young/small franchise system (8 units) lacks scale, brand recognition, and operational maturity to support franchisees
- 06HIGHNo disclosed litigation but declining units suggest performance or relationship issues not yet formalized as legal disputes
