ROIC above 100% usually means the revenue figure is a system-wide aggregate or top-cohort number rather than a single-unit average. Verify the "Revenue · per unit" field against the brand's FDD Item 19 detail tables before relying on this output.

Risk & Legal

62
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE62 / 100

Declining unit base combined with complete financial transparency vacuum creates high uncertainty around franchisee profitability and system viability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDUnit count declined 7.3% YoY (44 units) — shrinking franchise system signals market weakness or franchisee dissatisfaction
  2. 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) — impossible to validate ROI or unit economics before investing $44,750-$73,600
  3. 03MINORTiered royalty structure with $500/month minimum may be unsustainable for smaller territories or startup phase
  4. 04MINORLow franchise fee ($19,900) relative to total investment suggests thin franchisor margins and potential undercapitalization of support
  5. 05MINOR10-year term is longer than industry standard (5-7 years) — locks franchisees into relationship with declining system
