What one unit earns on your invested capital

Model A · Single-Unit Return

Computes unlevered return on invested capital (ROIC) for a single franchise unit. The target band for an attractive franchise is 30–60% ROIC — below that and a passive index fund likely outperforms; above that and the franchisor has pricing power you're subsidizing.

Note: Item 19 revenue is what the franchisor discloses — it's the top line only. Operating costs below are category estimates. Override them to match your real lease quote, labor market, and build-out budget.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Facto did not disclose financial performance in FDD Item 19. The ROIC and return models require Item 19 revenue — without it all inputs are estimates. You can still run the calculator with your own assumptions by entering an expected revenue figure.
