* The overall average gross revenue ($485,284) and median gross revenue ($387,308) for 2024 were taken directly from the '100%' row of the 'PART IV – ANNUAL GROSS SALES FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD' table and confirmed by the 'PART V - SYSTEMWIDE ANNUAL GROSS SALES DATA FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS' table. Revenue for top and bottom quartiles were taken from the 'Top 25%' and 'Bottom 25%' rows of the Part IV table, respectively. A weighted average calculated from the 'Top 50%' and 'Bottom 50%' segments resulted in $487,118, a slight difference from the stated overall average, likely due to rounding in the segmented data. No information on gross profit, net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expense data was provided to estimate profit ranges.
