What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aunt Millies Bakeries's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Special Delivery Fee, which is $60 per hour, will be deducted from your weekly settlement. This fee is incurred when Aunt Millies Bakeries makes special deliveries to your customers because you are unable or unwilling to do so, assuming they have the personnel and a truck available to make the delivery.
This means that as a franchisee, you are responsible for ensuring timely and complete deliveries to your customers. If a customer demands a delivery that you cannot fulfill, Aunt Millies Bakeries will step in, but you will be charged $60 per hour for their services. This charge is directly deducted from your weekly earnings, reducing your profits.
It is important to note that the availability of Aunt Millies Bakeries to make these special deliveries is subject to their personnel and truck availability. Therefore, franchisees should not rely on this as a regular solution but rather focus on managing their routes and deliveries effectively to avoid incurring this fee. This fee structure incentivizes franchisees to handle their deliveries efficiently and independently.
