What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Management Consulting Fee is payable only if a franchisee requests on-site management assistance from All Dogs Unleashed. The fee is $400.00 per person, per day, plus reimbursement of travel, lodging, and dining expenses incurred by All Dogs Unleashed. This fee is due upon demand.
This means that franchisees will only incur this expense if they specifically request and receive on-site support from the franchisor's management team. This fee covers the cost of the consultant's time and any associated travel expenses. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the circumstances under which they might need to request this assistance and factor the potential cost into their financial planning.
Franchisees should carefully consider the potential need for on-site management assistance and the associated costs. While the base fee is clearly defined at $400 per person per day, the additional expenses for travel, lodging, and dining could vary significantly depending on the location and duration of the assistance. It would be prudent for prospective franchisees to discuss with All Dogs Unleashed under what circumstances this support is typically requested and to get an estimate of potential travel-related expenses to better prepare for this potential cost.
