CAPRIOTTI'S SANDWICH SHOP & CAPRIOTTI'S

CAPRIOTTI'S SANDWICH SHOP & CAPRIOTTI'S

Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop franchises operate casual retail restaurants serving submarine sandwiches, deli items, and related products in sit-down, take-out, or virtual kitchen formats using a proprietary system that includes specific recipes, decor, uniforms, and operational procedures for consistency and quality. The business model involves granting licenses to use their trademarks and marks to franchisees who must adhere to standards outlined in the operations manual, with options for single-unit or multi-unit development rights. They target the general public seeking affordable, great-tasting fast-casual submarine sandwiches amid competition from other sandwich shops.

Data Based On: 120 franchised restaurants open during all of 2024

* Average Gross Revenue, Median Gross Revenue, Revenue Top Quartile, and Revenue Bottom Quartile are directly extracted from the '2024 Results for All Franchised Restaurants Open During all of 2024' column on Page 3. The average EBITDA, EBITDA margin percentage, and best guess profit range for franchised units are estimated by applying the EBITDA margin derived from the 'Average of 10 Affiliate-Owned Restaurants' data (Page 6, using the 7% Royalty Fee rate as applicable to a single franchisee) to the franchised average gross revenue. The affiliate-owned average sales used for this calculation were $1,011,285 and the corresponding EBITDA was $143,864, resulting in an EBITDA margin of approximately 14.23%. This margin was then applied to the franchised average gross revenue of $835,358 to estimate the franchised average EBITDA. As no range for expenses or profit was explicitly provided for franchised units, the estimated EBITDA is used for both the low and high profit guesses.
