And thanks for the question. Halen will make money from 3 different revenue streams. (1). Initial franchise fees, (2). 10%-15% from vacation \u0026amp; flight bookings (3). 10% from every ride-share and delivery fee. The core of our revenue will come from #3, the ride-share/delivery fees. Here's a quick example as noted in our pitch deck. If we establish a franchise in just 5 counties, we can easily recruit around 750 drivers. If those drivers complete around 20 or so gigs per day, at an average fee of $10 per gig, that will generate over $46 million of revenue in one calendar year. We plan to have multiple franchises in every state in the country, and eventually, Canada as well before we start fully expanding internationally. And again, this doesn't include the franchise fees, flight booking fees, and vacation rental fees, which are all 100% Halen revenue. So you see, the potential for this Super App is quite astronomical. I hope this answered your question and made it clear that investing in us will benefit everyone involved.
