Does Bojangles’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. Bojangles’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees such as the royalty (4% of Gross Sales) come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
The model basis is the traditional full-size bone-in group, matching the main Item 7 format. The Express sample is a separate smaller-format group and is not combined with traditional sales. Item 19 excludes units not open for the full fiscal year and certain temporarily closed or ceased units; its company-operated expense tables do not establish franchised Restaurant profit.
How to interpret Bojangles’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
The required local marketing expenditure is reduced by qualifying cooperative advertising and includes the vendor charge, so adding all three as independent fees would double count spending. Other conditional charges depend on events and cannot be modeled from annual sales alone. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected Bojangles disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 487 franchised full-size Restaurants with the bone-in chicken menu operated continuously during Fiscal Year 2025. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.
