Score breakdown · what drove the 57 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed in FDD (Item 19 missing or incomplete) — impossible to assess unit economics or ROI potential
- 02MEDOnly 7 units system-wide with modest 16.7% YoY growth suggests early-stage brand with unproven scalability and limited peer support network
- 03MINORWide royalty range (3-8%) based on undefined 'prior years gross receipts' creates unpredictable cost structure and potential disputes over tier classification
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($121.5K-$272.2K) combined with unknown profitability creates significant financial risk for franchisees
- 05MINORSmall unit count limits ability to cross-validate financial claims or obtain candid feedback from multiple franchisees
