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

Risk · 0-100
MODERATE57 / 100

Declining unit count, regulatory history, undisclosed financials, and small system size present material risk for franchisee capital recovery.

Score breakdown · what drove the 57 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDSignificant unit decline of 18% year-over-year suggests system contraction and franchisee dissatisfaction
  2. 02MEDNo Item 19 financial performance representations disclosed, making it impossible to validate earning potential
  3. 03HIGHPrior litigation and unregistered franchise sale penalty (2018) indicates compliance/regulatory issues
  4. 04MINOR6% royalty on gross revenue (not net) creates cash flow pressure, especially in declining market
  5. 05MED41 remaining units is a very small franchise system with limited brand recognition and support infrastructure
