Score breakdown · what drove the 38 / 100 rating
- 01MEDOnly 1 unit in entire franchise system indicates either brand-new concept or failed expansion—extremely limited track record and no system stability data
- 02HIGHNo 'Going Concern' status suggests franchisor may have financial viability concerns or undisclosed operational instability
- 03MEDMissing Item 19 (Financial Performance Representation) prevents validation of claimed $434,560 avg revenue and $134,909 net income figures
- 04MINORHigh investment range ($162,700–$378,200) with single-unit reference point makes ROI projections unverifiable and high-risk
- 05MINOR6% royalty on gross sales is standard, but profitability highly dependent on unvalidated cost assumptions with only one operating example
