## 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 reconcile it to the actual lease, site, construction scope, equipment quotes,
opening schedule, and cash-flow model.
