Bottom line
- Total investment $463K – $1.6M including a $50K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100.

Risk & Legal
Undisclosed financials, micro-scale system with unproven economics, and going concern status make this a high-risk franchise with insufficient due diligence data.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure (average unit revenue and net income not provided) — impossible to validate ROI claims
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential financial instability or ownership restructuring concerns
- 03MINORExtremely wide investment range ($462.9K–$1.59M) suggests lack of standardization and unpredictable startup costs
- 04MEDOnly 7 units in system creates severe limited data set and raises questions about franchisor's operational maturity and support infrastructure
- 05MINOR100% YoY unit growth from minimal base (likely 3-4 units previously) is statistically meaningless and may mask underlying weakness
- 06MINOR5% royalty on gross revenue (not net profit) combined with no profitability data creates risk of cash-flow squeeze for franchisees
