Bottom line
- Total investment $498K – $1.0M including a $40K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 2 loans (below the industry average).
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Doner Shack presents extreme risk: zero operating units, going concern status, and complete absence of financial disclosure make this a pre-revenue or collapsed franchise system unsuitable for investment.
Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating
- 01MINORZero operating franchise units despite established brand suggests complete system collapse or pre-launch status
- 02HIGHGoing Concern designation indicates franchisor financial distress or viability concerns
- 03MEDNo disclosed average revenue or net income (Item 19) prevents ROI validation and suggests poor unit performance
- 04MINORWide investment range ($498k–$1.007M) with no financial benchmarks creates uncertainty on capital requirements
- 05MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory suggests either new concept or failing system with no track record
