What drove the 51/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MINOROnly 2 units in entire system indicates minimal scale, making it difficult to validate unit economics or identify proven replicable model
- 02MEDNo disclosed growth trajectory for 2-unit system raises questions about franchisee demand, market viability, and franchisor's ability to support expansion
- 03MEDHigh investment-to-unit ratio ($248K-$450K) with only 2 operating locations suggests unproven ROI and limited comparable performance data
- 04MINORInvestment range spread of $202,600 (81% variance) indicates unclear or highly variable startup costs with potential hidden expenses
- 05MINORFranchise fee of $49,500 represents 20% of minimum investment—relatively high upfront cost for unproven 2-unit brand
