What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is required to purchase the Initial Proprietary Inventory Package either from Buns On Fire itself or from one of its affiliates. This package includes proprietary spices and other inventory items that the franchisee must have before opening their Buns On Fire restaurant.
The Initial Proprietary Inventory Package Fee is expected to cost between $10,000 and $30,000. However, this package might not include all the necessary inventory and equipment to operate the restaurant, and it is the franchisee's responsibility to acquire any additional items needed.
In addition to the Initial Proprietary Inventory Package, franchisees must purchase certain foods, beverages, equipment, supplies, and products from suppliers approved by Buns On Fire. While produce can be sourced locally, all other food products must come from suppliers identified by Buns On Fire, including its affiliates. This ensures consistency in quality and adherence to the brand's standards across all franchise locations.
