Risk & Legal
Barmetrix presents caution-level risk due to undisclosed financial performance metrics, unprotected territory, modest growth trajectory, and misaligned royalty incentives that could limit franchisee profitability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 64 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo Item 19 disclosure (average revenue and net income not provided) — impossible to assess actual profitability or ROI on $60,950-$65,600 investment
- 02MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk; franchisees may cannibalize each other's revenue in growth markets
- 03MEDModest unit growth (11.8% YoY on only 22 units) suggests limited brand traction and difficulty recruiting/retaining franchisees
- 04MINORTiered royalty structure (8%/7%/6%) incentivizes owners to stay below $83,333 revenue to avoid 6% rate, creating misaligned growth incentives
- 05MINOR5-year term is relatively short; franchisees may hesitate to invest heavily knowing renewal is uncertain
- 06HIGHGoing Concern status is False but unclear — lack of financial transparency raises questions about franchisor stability and support capabilities
