And in BurgerFi, they have also a five hundred thousand dollar minimum liquidity, a million dollar net worth, and a franchise fee that's forty five thousand dollars per location.

And then a National Brand Fund contribution of two percent and local restaurant marketing of one point five percent. Alright. So we just went over a bunch of big numbers. Let's let's talk about how you can kinda meet those requirements now. And there are a lot of options that are typically overlooked, like business partners, stocks and bonds, four zero one k rollovers. And at Jack in the Box, we do allow all of our franchisees to have business partners to help them meet their their our investment requirements. In BurgerFi, their franchisees must be actively involved as an operator of their restaurants, either through their own involvement or that of a dedicated operating partner with equity who is committed to the full time management of the business. So a really important factor here to talk about is real estate ownership. This This is being able to own the the real estate associated with your restaurant, your franchise, whatever it may be. So with Jack in the Box, our franchisees can purchase or lease the property where their restaurants are located. We have an awesome real estate and, leasing team.

But BurgerFi, they're open from eleven AM to ten o'clock at night, and they also carry craft beer, wine, along with frozen custard. And Jack in the Box, we're open twenty four seven with a large and distinctive menu. It has five dayparts, and you can get anything on our menu anytime, day at night, day or night.
