Score breakdown · what drove the 97 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed (Item 19 missing) — cannot validate ROI claims or payback period
- 02MINORHigh royalty rate of 12% on gross profit (not revenue) creates ambiguity and reduces net margins significantly
- 03MEDSmall unit count (25 locations) with only 40% YoY growth suggests limited brand awareness and market penetration
- 04MINORInitial investment range of $37.5K–$74.3K is broad (nearly 2x spread) — unclear cost drivers and standardization
- 05MINOR8-year term is longer than industry standard (5-6 years typical), limiting franchisee exit flexibility
- 06HIGHNo litigation disclosure is positive but small system size limits statistical reliability of this metric
