›How to read it
Net unit growth — Net unit growth is how much a system's number of franchised locations rose or fell in its latest year, after subtracting the ones that left.
Higher means the system added locations faster. A negative number means the system ended the year smaller.
It measures change in size, not how much money anyone made.

What to ask next
How to read this data
- These are each system's own disclosures, not our opinion of them. Every number on this page comes out of a filing the system published itself. Where we calculate something — an effective royalty, a fee load, a growth rate — we show the inputs and the formula alongside it.
- A blank means the filing did not say, never zero. Systems disclose different things, so most measures are filed by some of the field and not all of it. Where a figure rests on part of the field, we say how much of it.
- Nothing here is a ranking. Most of these measures have no better direction: a lower royalty is not automatically a better system, and a bigger territory is not automatically a better deal. We show where a system sits and leave the judgement to you.
