Revenue is not profit. One statistic per brand, chosen by a published rule set; brands compare only inside the same group.

Methodology notes
  • FN-COMPARABILITY-GROUP Brands are compared only within the same comparability group (unit basis, revenue definition, cohort maturity). The group label is shown beside every comparison.
  • FN-HEADLINE-COHORT The headline figure is one Item 19 statistic chosen per brand by a published, versioned rule set (franchised, unit-level, mature, all eligible units, largest count, latest year, median first); the other disclosed cohorts remain available.
  • FN-REV-DEF-VARIES Revenue definitions differ by brand (Gross Sales/Revenue(s)/Receipts/Billings, Net Billings, etc.); see each brand's verbatim definition.
  • FN-UNIT-BASIS Reporting unit is the brand's own (business/territory/outlet); composites never mix bases.
The franchisor's own books

From the audited financial statements attached to the FDD — the corporate entity, not its franchisees.
