What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the MF Development Fee depends on several factors. These include the Development Area's specifics, the number of Master Franchised Bhc Restaurants planned for the area, and other special circumstances. The document specifies that the MF Development Fee for each Bhc Restaurant opened under the Master Franchise Agreement (MFA) should not exceed the then-current Initial Franchise Fee.
Upon signing the MFA, the master franchisee must pay a lump sum, non-refundable MF Development Fee for each Bhc Restaurant to be opened. This fee is non-refundable under any circumstances, even if the franchisee fails to open a restaurant. The document also mentions a deposit, which varies depending on the number of Master Franchised Bhc Restaurants, with an example of a $100,000 deposit for five restaurants.
In summary, the MF Development Fee is influenced by the scope of the Development Area, the quantity of restaurants to be developed, and any unique conditions agreed upon. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and discuss them with Bhc to fully understand the financial commitment involved in becoming a master franchisee.
