Kitchen Guard Services

Item 7 details a total investment of $173,700 to $308,550, including the $49,000 franchise fee, with ongoing fees at 10% royalty (tiering down to 9% then 8% based on performance), 1% brand fund (up to 2%), and a $499 monthly technology fee. Item 19 discloses average gross revenues of $2,356,338 across units, but an eyebrow-raising 0% EBITDA margin alongside a flat estimated profit of exactly $293,989 per unit. For context, that's roughly 12.5% net profitability if accurate, though the zero EBITDA suggests heavy operating costs or perhaps limited data from early-stage franchisees eating into earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

System metrics reveal a brand with one corporate location and aggressive growth plans for 23 projected new units amid a competitive cleaning services market. The 13 recorded SBA loans averaging $320,854 indicate strong lender buy-in despite the newness, likely fueled by the essential nature of fire-safety services for commercial kitchens. High top-line sales promise volume, but razor-thin margins and youth mean franchisees must hit scale fast to justify the mid-six-figure investment—watch for execution as more units launch.
