Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 19 franchised restaurants open and in operation for the entire year ending December 31, 2024, divided into 3 categories based on gross Food & Beverage revenue volume.
* Financial performance data for franchised restaurants was extracted from Section II, specifically the table on Page 8. The 'NUMBER OF UNITS' and 'AVERAGE' revenue for each category were used: - High category: 5 units, average revenue $3,053,255 - Medium category: 7 units, average revenue $1,924,769 - Low category: 7 units, average revenue $1,017,650 The weighted average gross revenue was calculated as: (5 * $3,053,255 + 7 * $1,924,769 + 7 * $1,017,650) / (5 + 7 + 7) = $1,887,537.26. This aligns with the average reported on Page 7: '$1,887,537 in gross Food and Beverage revenue per unit'. The revenue top quartile is taken as the average revenue of the 'High' category ($3,053,255). The revenue bottom quartile is taken as the average revenue of the 'Low' category ($1,017,650). The median gross revenue is approximated by the median of the 'Medium' category ($1,758,126) because the overall median for all 19 units is not explicitly provided, and the median unit would fall within the 'Medium' category when sorted by revenue. Page 6 explicitly states that Section II 'does not reflect the costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs or expenses that must be deducted from the Food and Beverage revenue figures to obtain your net income or profit'. Therefore, no net income, net profit, EBITDA, or estimated profit range could be determined for franchised units.

Pizza joints blending meals with arcade fun sound like a nostalgic goldmine, but Shakey's Pizza Parlor's latest FDD raises eyebrows on scalability. Item 19 finally discloses revenue snapshots for its slim network, while a handful of SBA loans hint at the capital hurdles franchisees face. With just 19 franchised outlets amid 28 corporate ones, does this setup promise steady growth or signal a struggling expansion?
The initial investment swings from $1.2 million to $3.5 million per Item 7 estimates, covering buildouts for buffet setups, game rooms, and family-friendly vibes—steep for casual dining where quick-service peers often dip under $1M. Item 19 shines a light on performance: average gross sales hit $1,887,537 with a median of $1,758,126 across reporting units, suggesting solid top-line potential if you nail location and operations. Yet fees details for Items 5, 6, and 7 remain elusive in the FDD excerpts, forcing reliance on standard pizza category norms like 5-6% royalties plus ad funds—verify directly to avoid surprises.
System health leans cautious: only 19 franchised locations versus 28 corporate shows heavy company control, with just 1 transfer logged and no clear growth trajectory for 2025. Four SBA loans averaging $765,750 indicate financing accessibility but watch default trends in this high-investment niche. For families eyeing entertainment dining, these revenues tempt, but the tiny footprint and fat upfront costs scream 'niche play'—ideal if you secure prime turf, risky if corporate saturation blocks paths.
