Risk & Legal
Moderate-to-caution risk profile: solid unit growth and profitability claims are undermined by unprotected territory, opaque fee structure, lack of financial disclosure, and wide investment variance.

- 02MINORWide investment range ($40K-$249K) suggests inconsistent unit economics or undefined build-out standards
- 03MINORMinimum monthly royalty fee structure (in addition to 8% of sales) could burden low-revenue locations below $184K average
