Does Pizza Hut’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?

No. Pizza Hut’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 (6% of Gross Sales) come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.
