Does Kiddie Academy’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
Partly. Besides sales, Kiddie Academy’s Item 19 reports “Average gross profit for mature academies”. The figure follows the franchisor’s own definition in Item 19, which decides which costs are deducted and whether an owner’s salary is one of them. It is not necessarily an owner’s take-home pay.

Item 6 states a reduced introductory royalty for qualifying first Academies and a separate Brand Building Fund charge. Item 7 has unpriced possible tenant improvements; Item 11 also requires local annual advertising expenditures. Gross revenue alone cannot represent the complete ongoing fee and facility obligations.
