What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Architectural Fees, which range from $9,500 to $12,500, are due 'As incurred' and are paid to the Architect. This means that the franchisee will need to pay these fees as the architectural work progresses, rather than in a lump sum at the beginning or end of the project.
This payment schedule is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as it allows the franchisee to manage the costs of the build-out over time. However, it also means that the franchisee will need to have sufficient capital available to cover these fees as they come due. It is important for prospective franchisees to budget carefully for these expenses and to ensure that they have a clear understanding of the payment schedule with the architect.
Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisees should maintain open communication with both the franchisor and the architect to ensure that the project stays on track and that all fees are paid in a timely manner. Understanding the 'as incurred' payment structure is crucial for managing cash flow during the initial setup phase.
