Everything below is free, read straight off Sauce Pizza / Wine's registered filing. The $99 report is the part a single FDD can't give you: the earnings figures themselves, and where every number lands against full-service restaurant peers.
The numbers above tell you what Sauce Pizza / Wine discloses. The report tells you whether that's good:
- The earnings figures themselves — the average unit revenue Sauce Pizza / Wine puts on paper in Item 19, and what it does and doesn't include.
- Where every number ranks — investment, fees, royalty, earnings and churn against full-service restaurant median and quartile. This is the part no single FDD, and no AI reading one, can produce.
- What's driving the medium risk read — the specific figures behind it, not the label.
- The litigation, split properly — beyond the count above: each case, and which ones franchisees brought against the franchisor rather than the reverse.
- The questions to ask before you sign — drawn from what Sauce Pizza / Wine's own filing leaves open, in the words to use on the call.

How much does a Sauce Pizza / Wine franchise make?
Sauce Pizza / Wine is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The average revenue Sauce Pizza / Wine reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against full-service restaurant peers are in the full report. See every full-service restaurant brand that discloses earnings in the Full-service restaurant franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Sauce Pizza / Wine franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Sauce Pizza / Wine's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Sauce Pizza / Wine franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Sauce Pizza / Wine franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets Sauce Pizza / Wine's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.
Sauce Pizza / Wine lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Sauce Pizza / Wine's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Sauce Pizza / Wine itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. The full Sauce Pizza / Wine report lists each case with what it was about and how it ended, separates franchisee disputes from corporate and securities matters, and flags the ones a franchisee started — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for.
Sauce Pizza / Wine closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Sauce Pizza / Wine will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Sauce Pizza / Wine's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a full-service restaurant of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Sauce Pizza / Wine's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Sauce Pizza / Wine's churn ranks against full-service restaurant peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Sauce Pizza / Wine?
Sauce Pizza / Wine's franchise is offered by BQ Concepts, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
