At No BS Franchise Reports, we believe the real progress begins when you ask the right questions — not when you repeat polished press releases.
What’s the cost behind that “record expansion”?
How sustainable is that same-store sales growth once labor pressure hits?
How are unit economics changing after remodel mandates or tech fees?
These questions don’t make the headlines, but they make or break operators.
The goal isn’t to criticize — it’s to pressure test. Because understanding the full story helps investors, lenders, and operators make decisions grounded in data, not hype.
That’s exactly why we built the No BS Franchise Playbook — a free resource that breaks down the questions every operator should be asking before investing, expanding, or signing that next agreement.
It’s built to help you see past the marketing gloss and uncover the real operational and financial signals behind each brand.
