Bottom line
- Total investment $236K – $605K including a $40K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 72/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Sunrise Shack presents extreme risk due to going concern status, micro-scale unit count, missing financial performance data, and inability to validate return on investment before committing $235K-$605K.
Score breakdown · what drove the 72 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial instability or solvency issues at corporate level
- 02MEDOnly 6 units system-wide suggests minimal scale, limited support infrastructure, and extremely high failure risk
- 03MINORNo Average Revenue or Net Income disclosure (Item 19) prevents ROI validation — cannot assess if $235K-$605K investment is recoverable
- 04MINORWide investment range ($369,300 spread) with no revenue benchmarks creates inability to model unit economics
- 05MINORUnknown growth trajectory with only 6 units raises questions about system viability and franchisee recruitment sustainability
- 06MEDHigh royalty rate (6%) on undisclosed revenue base means franchisees cannot predict actual profitability impact
