SARPINO'S
Sarpino’s Pizzeria franchises operate restaurants offering gourmet pizzas, authentic Italian pastas, salads, wings, appetizers, and other items using fresh ingredients, proprietary recipes, and Italian traditions, with services including delivery and curbside pickup. The franchisor sells single-unit restaurant franchises and multi-unit development agreements, allowing franchisees or developers to open and operate locations using the proprietary system, trademarks, and operational methods. They target customers seeking high-quality Italian fast-casual dining experiences, competing with major pizza chains like Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's.

Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 40 franchised SARPINO'S PIZZERIA Restaurants in operation for a full 12 months in the calendar year 2023.
* The average gross revenue for all units was directly provided. The revenue for the top (22 units) and bottom (18 units) performing segments were also directly provided. The weighted average of these segments (22 units × $1,258,461.29 + 18 units × $794,303.85) / 40 total units = $1,049,590.44, which confirms the reported overall average of $1,049,590.45. The document provides average labor cost as a percentage of net sales but explicitly states that 'This financial performance representation does not include any information on expenses or costs that you are likely to incur in operating a SARPINO’S PIZZERIA restaurant, other than the above data on labor costs.' Therefore, a comprehensive profit range cannot be reliably estimated without making assumptions not supported by the document.
