- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100.

Risk & Legal
A critically undercapitalized 3-unit system with going concern status, no financial disclosure, and unproven franchisee economics creates substantial operational and financial risk.
Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status indicates franchisor financial distress or viability questions
- 02MINOROnly 3 units system-wide suggests minimal scale, network support, and supplier leverage
- 03MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents ROI validation and profitability assessment
- 04MINORFlat $500/month royalty structure may be unsustainable if franchisees underperform or creates misaligned incentives
- 05MINORHigh franchise fee ($25,000) relative to investment range ($36,125–$74,200) represents 26-69% of startup cost
- 06MEDUnknown unit growth trajectory indicates no disclosed expansion momentum or franchisee success stories
- 07MINOR5-year term is relatively short; renewal uncertainty compounds investment risk in early-stage systems
