Score breakdown · what drove the 43 / 100 verdict
- 01MINOROnly 1 franchised unit in system with unknown growth trajectory suggests minimal viable franchise model or recent launch/collapse
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status 'False' indicates franchisor may have liquidity/solvency issues or unstable corporate foundation
- 03MINORHigh initial investment ($364k-$528k) paired with single operating unit creates extreme selection bias and unproven scalability
- 04MINORMinimum royalty of $250/week ($13k annually) creates floor obligation regardless of revenue, raising cash flow risk for underperforming locations

What do DELTA CROWN™ franchise owners earn?
