What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the weekly royalty fee, along with other fees, is automatically debited from the restaurant's checking account every Wednesday. Prior to initial training, franchisees must sign and deliver a document (Exhibit D of the FDD) authorizing Beyond Juicery Eatery to debit the restaurant's account for all fees due. These fees include, but are not limited to, the Royalty, Marketing Fund Fee, Interest fees, purchases from Beyond Juicery Eatery's affiliates, and any other fees payable to them or their affiliates.
Gross sales, which are used to calculate certain fees, include all sales of goods and services from the restaurant. This encompasses smoothies, juices, food products, soups, beverages, and receipts from licensed merchandise like T-shirts and hats. Gross sales also include money from selling goods and services under the Beyond Juicery + Eatery name, whether derived from within the restaurant or outside (e.g., catering, food shows, food truck, or other off-site events). These sales figures are calculated before discounts and less any sales tax.
This automatic debit system ensures that Beyond Juicery Eatery receives its fees promptly and consistently. Franchisees need to ensure that their checking accounts have sufficient funds each Wednesday to cover these fees to avoid any penalties or disruptions. The broad definition of gross sales also means that franchisees must accurately track all revenue streams, including off-site sales, to properly calculate and remit the correct royalty and marketing fund fees.
