<<OK, now I feel compelled to correct you endless pumpers. Stop asking me damn questions and stop displaying your utter lack of knowledge about how national restaurant chains work and your total lack of ability to understand balance sheets and cash flow statements.
BWLD could be WAY more profitable than 20 something grand a year per restaurant. However, for restaurants to EXPAND they need to use FCF to do it. BWLD is expanding rapidly, just like UWNK wants to. Do any of you even know how to read a cash flow statement? BWLD spent 2.1 million LAST QUARTER ALONE in cap ex to support growth.
Are you serious Rawnoc? Please tell me you're not naive enough to think that. UWNKs franchise fees aren't going to flow to earnings. They will flow to PAYING the bills, legal fees, funding operations, and growing. They will go to funding options. They will be REVENUE, not earnings for the most part. They want to grow one company resturant for every franchise. The last restaurant cost them over a million to build. Even if these new company ones cost 600K, they will go through those franchise fees like they're yesterday's news.
Do you really think getting to 4.5 million in profit a year will be easy? Christ, that's where you make yourself sound silly.
Chuck E Cheese has 522 restaurants, 477 of which are company-owned (hence generating WAY more than franchises). They're not growing so they don't have huge capex, yet they only made a bit over 7 million last year.>>
Good god...CEC made a little over 70 MILLION LAST YEAR. You are off by a factor of 10. GOD...I could let a few mistakes go...but you've made SOOOOOOOOO many errors that I have to conclude you have no idea how to read an income statement.
Furthermore: Capital expenditures don't subtract from earnings. Expenses do that. If an expenditure is CAPITALIZED, it is recorded as an asset and then charged off over the life of the asset. Otherwise, a company like Ford would have to report massive losses anytime they built a new factory. The capital expenditures show up on the cash flow, but are usually not expensed. They're recorded as assets. So your whole thesis is just total bolgona. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write back and explain yourself.
