What drove the 50/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MEDOnly 7 units systemwide indicates extremely limited scale and unproven franchise model replicability
  2. 02HIGHNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure (Going Concern = False) prevents validation of $443k avg net income claim
  3. 03MINORHigh royalty ceiling (10%) combined with minimum weekly fees creates unpredictable cost structure for low-revenue periods
  4. 04MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory suggests franchisor may not track or disclose performance metrics
  5. 05MINORMinimal franchise base raises questions about franchisor's ability to support franchisees or sustain operations
