What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must start paying weekly royalties either when the restaurant opens for business or 12 months after the franchise agreement is executed, whichever comes first. If the restaurant isn't open within that 12-month timeframe, the franchisee is obligated to pay a weekly royalty of $1,000 until the location does open. Once the restaurant is open, the royalty converts to 6% of the restaurant's gross sales.
Beyond Juicery Eatery requires franchisees to submit a report of the previous week's gross sales each Monday. The brand then collects the royalty via electronic funds transfer (EFT) each Wednesday for the previous week's royalty, or on another day determined by Beyond Juicery Eatery and disclosed in the Operations Manual.
If a franchisee fails to submit the weekly gross sales report on time, Beyond Juicery Eatery has the right to estimate the restaurant's gross sales and collect the royalty, marketing fee, and other fees via EFT. In this case, the franchisee is also responsible for paying for Beyond Juicery Eatery's staff time to estimate sales, at rates disclosed in the Operations Manual, and to reconcile any discrepancies.
