Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers for the fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023 (in thousands):
Fiscal Year
December 27,
2025		December 28,
2024		December 30,
2023
Royalty revenue$292,466 $259,632 $186,455 
Advertising fees247,619 217,630 157,138 
Franchise fees6,505 6,080 5,064 
Franchise fee, development fees, and international territory fee payments received by the Company are recorded as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents a contract liability. Deferred revenue is reduced as fees are recognized in revenue over the term of the franchise license for the respective restaurant. As the term of the franchise license is typically ten years, substantially all of the franchise fee revenue recognized in the current fiscal year was included in the
deferred revenue balance as of December 28, 2024. Approximately $13.6 million and $13.5 million of deferred revenue as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, relates to restaurants that were not yet opened, so the fees are not yet being amortized. The weighted average remaining amortization period for deferred franchise and renewal fees related to open restaurants is 7.5 years. The Company did not have any material contract assets as of December 27, 2025.
