What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Burger King's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, under the Burger King Company LLC Investment Spending Program Agreement, a franchisee's additional contribution is paid in arrears and is due to BKC (Burger King Company LLC) on the 10th day of each month during the term of the agreement. BKC will calculate the payment due and bill the franchisee.
The franchisee's additional contribution is part of a local marketing program. The additional contribution will not exceed 2% of the monthly gross sales of each participating restaurant and each un-owned restaurant.
If a Burger King franchisee fails to make the additional contribution, BKC may reduce the funds in the account established for the DMA (Designated Marketing Area) by the amount of the failure. Additionally, if the franchisee fails to pay, they are responsible for all costs and expenses, including interest and reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by BKC in enforcing the agreement.
