Tools, from this filing's numbers
What MOD Pizza takes off the top
Royalty 5% of weekly Revenues plus advertising 2% of weekly Revenues (can be increased up to 3% on 90 days' written notice), applied to your own sales estimate. The rates are the filing's; the sales are yours.
MOD Pizza discloses no unit revenue, so start from a number you believe.
Cash you would need to open
The filing's Item 7 range, $924,732 to $1,220,633, is an estimate for one unit including only its first months. Slide between the low and high cases and add the months of runway you want beyond that.
Monthly operating cash is taken as one-twelfth of your weekly-sales figure above times 52, a placeholder for rent, labor and food until you have your own budget.
Where the units went in 2025
Every outlet that opened, and every one that left, drawn from Item 20 Table 3 to scale.p.52
