What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, "Total Gross Revenue" includes more than just direct sales from goods and services. It encompasses all gross revenues generated by the commercial facilities, stemming from the sale of all goods and services, but with deductions for sales tax, discounts, allowances, and returns, all as reported by the commercial facilities during the reporting period.
Specifically, Total Gross Revenue also accounts for reimbursements paid to the commercial facilities for veterinary services they provide. This means that if an All Dogs Unleashed location pays a veterinary practice directly for services rendered to a customer and then bills the customer for reimbursement, that reimbursement is included in the Total Gross Revenue calculation.
For a prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisee, this definition is important for understanding how royalties and other fees are calculated, as they are often based on a percentage of Total Gross Revenue. It also clarifies that revenue from veterinary service reimbursements, while not direct sales, contributes to the overall financial performance of the franchise.
