* All monetary values are reported in thousands in the source document and have been multiplied by 1000 for the final output. 'Revenue Less Disclosed Expenses' is used as the proxy for net profit, as it is the most comprehensive profit-like metric provided after deducting various operating expenses (Royalty, Technology Fee, Cost of Goods Sold, Insurance, Credit Card Processing, Marketing Expenditures, Management Labor, Labor). Given there are only two franchisee units, the 'High' and 'Low' values for 'Gross Revenues' and 'Revenue Less Disclosed Expenses' are used as 'revenue_top_quartile', 'revenue_bottom_quartile', 'best_guess_profit_high', and 'best_guess_profit_low' respectively.
