How does this franchise unit make money, and what are the core revenue streams?

Revenue comes from high-volume sales of beef hot dogs, fries, and meal deals, with beef hot dogs alone projected at $620,000 in the first year. The model maintains a tight food cost, starting at 13% of sales. The math works because hot dogs are defintely a high-margin staple.
