What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be required to pay a non-refundable design fee. This fee, which falls between $5,000 and $10,000, is intended to cover restaurant design preparation services for the franchisee's Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck. The application of this fee is at the discretion of Crepe De Licious.
The design fee is due when the franchisee orders the designs, which must occur before the Crepe De Licious business opens. The amount of the fee varies based on the size and complexity of the design required for the specific location type.
It is important to note that while Crepe De Licious has the right to charge this fee, they did not collect any design fees from franchisees in 2023. This does not guarantee that the fee will not be charged in the future, but it provides some context. As with any discretionary fee, a prospective franchisee should discuss with Crepe De Licious under what specific circumstances the design fee is applied and how the amount is determined for different types of locations.
