Of the 324 remaining restaurants, 81 restaurants were in the top quartile and had average net sales of $2,476,448 with 32 restaurants (or 40%) attaining or exceeding the average. The average net sales for all 324 restaurants was $1,693,232 with 145 restaurants (or 45%) attaining or exceeded the average total net sales.
