Does Pillar To Post’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. Pillar To Post’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
The broad Item 19 threshold presentation on PDF p. 62 uses 297 franchisee-owned units in exclusive or non-exclusive territories open throughout 2025, not 298. It excludes 25 units that opened or ceased during 2025 or missed monthly reporting. Group C and D results on p. 61 are smaller subsets and should not be presented as systemwide averages. The FDD also prints $446,742 in its two-or-more-inspector table on p. 57 but $446,741 in the explanatory paragraph on p. 59; neither conflicting figure is used here.
