Financial Performance

Data Based On: One franchised restaurant open for at least 1 year.
* Average gross revenue is based on a single franchised unit (You Guz! LLC) listed in the 'Franchise' table for 2023. No other financial performance metrics (median, quartiles, net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expense data for profit estimation) were provided for franchised units. The document explicitly states that earnings figures do not reflect costs or expenses needed to obtain net income or profit, hence no profit range estimation was possible.
