| Advertising fund | 1% of gross sales | Item 6 — brand marketing, spent at the franchisor's discretion |

| Total initial investment | $325,000 – $597,250 | Item 7 — franchisor's own low/high estimate |
5% weekly royalty, 1% monthly marketing fee (up to 1.5%), plus 1.5-2% local advertising, POS lease $300-500/mo, operations software $96/mo.

| Ceased operations | 0 |
| Terminated by franchisor | 0 |

Zero terminations/transfers through 2025; rapid expansion (0→9 outlets in 2 years) suggests early-stage system with limited failure data.
