What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the calculation of 'Hours' involves dividing the total Gross Sales of an outlet during a calendar year by a specific divisor. The 'Hours' represents the amount of time, in hours, that a Bee Organized business spends working on projects for clients during a particular calendar year.
The divisor used in this calculation is the average billable hour rate of all outlets in the Bee Organized franchise system. This rate is specified as $75 per hour. Therefore, to determine the 'Hours,' a franchisee would divide their total annual Gross Sales by $75.
This calculation provides a standardized way to measure the time spent on client projects across the Bee Organized system, using the system's average billable rate as a common denominator. This metric can be useful for comparing efficiency and productivity across different franchise locations.
