Does Carbones Pizzeria provide the forms for reporting Gross Sales?

According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to submit reports of Gross Sales to the franchisor, and these reports must be on forms provided by Carbones Pizzeria. These reports are used to calculate royalty fees and other payments due to Carbones Pizzeria.

The FDD specifies that royalty payments must be accompanied by Gross Sales reports and other data on forms provided by Carbones Pizzeria from time to time. This implies that the specific format and content of these forms may change over time, and Carbones Pizzeria will communicate any such changes to its franchisees.

Carbones Pizzeria also has the right to independently access the restaurant's accounting and financial systems to determine Gross Sales and fees owed. If a franchisee fails to report Gross Sales or withholds access to accounting systems, Carbones Pizzeria may debit the franchisee's account for 110% of the royalty and advertising fees last paid. This highlights the importance of accurate and timely reporting of Gross Sales to maintain a good standing with the franchisor and avoid penalties.

Prospective franchisees should ensure they understand the reporting requirements and are prepared to maintain accurate records and submit them in the format required by Carbones Pizzeria. They should also clarify any questions they have about the reporting process during their due diligence to ensure a smooth transition into the franchise system.
