Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 14 franchised Restaurants open and operating during the Measurement Period as of December 31, 2024, for the entire fiscal years ending on December 31, 2022, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024.
* Annualized average gross revenue and median gross revenue by multiplying monthly figures for 2024 ($169,508 and $185,745 respectively) by 12. Calculated average gross profit based on average gross revenue minus average food cost (32.81%) and average beverage cost (25.57%). Did not calculate net profit/income/EBITDA or a profit range (best_guess_profit_low/high) due to the document explicitly stating many other types of expenses (e.g., royalty fee, advertising fee, occupancy costs, debt service, insurance, professional fees, other operating costs, and certain labor costs) are not included in the provided cost percentages, making an accurate profit estimation impossible from the given data. The sum of reported average COGS and direct labor cost is 94.49% of gross sales, indicating that a significant profit margin after all other expenses is unlikely.
