Does ShelfGenie’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
Not in dollars. Besides sales, ShelfGenie’s Item 19 reports “Grand Total Gross Margin” as a percentage. A margin is the share of sales left after the costs the franchisor counts in it, not what an owner takes home. 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.
