Financial Performance

Average Gross Revenue

Median Gross Revenue

Data Based On: 73 franchised locations as per Table 1C, 'All Franchised Locations'.

* Average Net Sales ($1,966,384.03) and Median Net Sales ($1,960,217.57) are extracted directly from Table 1C, representing 'All Franchised Locations'. Note 1 on page 3 clarifies that 'Net Sales' means gross sales less complimentary meals, discounts, and sales tax, which is considered gross revenue for this extraction. Note 3 on page 3 explicitly states that the financial performance representations do not reflect costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs/expenses to obtain net income or profit, therefore average_net_income, average_net_profit, average_ebitda, ebitda_margin_pct, and best_guess_profit_low/high are set to null. Segmented data for Top 25% and Bottom 25% (Tables 2D and 2E) includes 'Cheba Hut Businesses' which are composed of both franchised and affiliate locations open for 12+ months (as indicated by the total of 59 restaurants, which combines 57 franchised and 2 affiliate locations open for 12+ months). To adhere strictly to the rule of extracting only individual franchise unit performance data, revenue_top_quartile and revenue_bottom_quartile are set to null as they are not purely franchised data.
