Bottom line
- Total investment $573K – $786K including a $30K franchise fee, 12.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated STRONG with a risk score of 46/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 167 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
Jet's Pizza presents moderate-to-caution risk: the franchise lacks transparency on unit economics (no Item 19), shows modest growth, carries litigation history, and imposes aggressive royalty structures that could strain profitability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 46 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 (Average Unit Volume) disclosed — unable to assess realistic ROI or payback period on $572.5K-$786K investment
- 02MINORModest unit growth of 6.8% YoY suggests market saturation or franchisee satisfaction concerns in mature 450-unit system
- 03HIGHTwo litigation settlements (breach of contract and BIPA class action) indicate operational/legal compliance gaps
- 04MINORHigh royalty burden of 12% on acquired inventory PLUS $1,200/month minimum creates cash flow pressure on thin QSR margins
- 05MINOR10-year term with $30K fee is reasonable but risk is compounded by lack of transparent financial benchmarking
