The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing franchisees with the franchise rights to operate a store. To determine the transaction price, the Company considers its customary business practices and the terms of the underlying agreement. For the purpose of determining transaction prices, the Company assumes performance obligations will be satisfied as promised in accordance with franchise agreements and that agreements will not be canceled, renewed or modified. The Company's franchise agreements with franchisees have transaction prices that contain a fixed and variable component. Variable consideration includes revenue related to royalties, as the transaction price is based on the franchisees sales. The variable consideration is recognized based on the actual amounts incurred each month. Franchisees receive additional services such as marketing and commissary needs, which are provided by affiliated entities as allowed by the franchise agreement. Marketing fees totaling 1% of the franchisee weekly sales are paid by franchisees directly to Beg Adv, LLC. Commissary stores at each franchisee are ordered and fulfilled with Begcom, LLC.
