"Internationally, the Company is in early-stage growth as a franchisor"

A franchisor is a company that licenses its brand, business model and operating systems to independent operators (franchisees) in exchange for upfront fees and ongoing royalties. Investors watch franchisors because this model can drive fast growth with relatively low capital outlay, produce predictable recurring income, and concentrate risk in brand reputation, franchisee performance and regulatory compliance—think of the franchisor as a landlord collecting rent while others run the stores.
