## How to read the table

The labels and amounts follow the filing rather than a standardized restaurant budget. A package remains bundled
unless the filing breaks it apart, a disclosed zero remains zero, and an unstated cost is not invented. Read the
range with the FDD footnotes and then match it to the actual lease, site, construction scope, equipment quotes,
opening schedule, and cash-flow model.

## How to brief this table

1. Name the format and filing year before the total.
2. Keep the original row labels; do not split a package into guessed lines.
3. Read every footnote against the low column.
4. Add both columns yourself and record any gap against the printed total.
5. Replace the table with a site budget before treating the range as capital.
