- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed. The franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.

Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating
- 01MINORZero operating units despite 20-year franchise model indicates system has never successfully launched or has completely collapsed
- 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents validation of ROI claims and suggests franchisor cannot demonstrate unit profitability
- 03MINORWide investment range ($268K–$3.3M) without corresponding unit economics makes financial planning impossible
- 04HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating material doubts about franchisor's ability to continue operations
- 05MINOR5.5% royalty on gross rooms revenue is standard but unverifiable without actual operating unit performance data
- 06HIGHNo disclosed litigation does not offset zero-unit risk; may indicate pre-revenue startup or defunct system
- 07MINOR20-year term locks franchisee into relationship with unproven franchisor with no track record
