What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Benihana's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the owned restaurant cost of sales represented 24.9% of revenues in 2020. This figure is part of the broader financial data reported by Benihana, reflecting the direct costs associated with operating its restaurants.

Specifically, the cost of sales includes expenses like food, beverages, and other direct inputs required to deliver Benihana's dining experience. This percentage indicates the proportion of revenue that Benihana spent on these direct costs in its owned restaurants during that year.

For a prospective franchisee, understanding the cost of sales is crucial as it directly impacts profitability. While this data pertains to company-owned restaurants, it can provide a benchmark for franchisees to evaluate their own operational efficiency and cost management. Fluctuations in this percentage from year to year can reflect changes in ingredient costs, supply chain dynamics, or operational strategies.
