Bottom line
- Total investment $164K – $312K including a $50K franchise fee.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 64/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 9 loans (below the industry average).
- System contracting at -9.6% CAGR over 3 years. Investigate whether closures are franchisor-driven (consolidation) or franchisee-driven (economics).

Overview
About
GameTruck franchisees operate mobile video game entertainment trucks that travel to birthday parties, corporate events, and community venues. Daily operations include vehicle maintenance, route scheduling, customer acquisition, event setup/breakdown, and managing 2-4 gaming consoles/screens on-site. Revenue depends heavily on local event booking volume and seasonal demand fluctuations.

Risk & Legal
Undisclosed financial performance, stagnant unit count, aggressive royalty floor, and unclear franchisor viability create substantial investment risk despite protected territory.
Score breakdown · what drove the 64 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — cannot validate revenue or profitability claims
- 02MINOROnly 50 units system-wide with unknown growth trajectory suggests stagnant or declining network
- 03MINORHigh initial investment ($164k-$312k) paired with aggressive minimum royalty ($600/month = $7,200/year floor) creates breakeven pressure
- 04MINORRoyalty structure (7% or $600 minimum) penalizes low-revenue operators; unclear if franchisees typically exceed $8,571 monthly sales threshold
- 05HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — requires immediate clarification on franchisor financial health
- 06MINORMobile/event business model has high operational complexity (vehicle maintenance, scheduling, liability) with unknown unit economics
