        Note: Revenue figures represent gross annual sales estimates at stabilized operations (year 2–3 per unit). Startup costs include build-out, equipment, initial inventory, licensing, and working capital reserve. Internal supply transfers between units represent cost savings to the receiving unit rather than revenue to the supplying unit; actual P&L accounting depends on entity structure. All figures are projections for planning purposes only and should be validated with a hospitality-focused CPA and market feasibility study.
