What is a good target net profit percentage (before taxes) from a fast food franchise, more specifically, a donut shop.

Well I'm sure that number varies...a ton. It varies on which franchise you are under, LOCATION, advertising, management, cleanliness, and many other factors.

There are many donut shops out there that have failed miserably and there are also many donut shops out there that have made a killing. So it's impossible to really answer your question.

If people knew how much they were going to make before starting, many more people would be doing this. It's all about taking risks. You can't make money without taking risks in this business.
