Bonjangles Express Bojanges, Bojangles', Bojanges' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Bonjangles Express Bojanges, Bojangles', Bojanges' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits's 4% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Bonjangles Express Bojanges, Bojangles', Bojanges' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Bonjangles Express Bojanges, Bojangles', Bojanges' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Bonjangles Express Bojanges, Bojangles', Bojanges' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Bonjangles Express Bojanges, Bojangles', Bojanges' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
