Notes:

  • (1) All fees are imposed by and payable to Crisp & Green Franchising LLC unless otherwise specifically noted. All fees are imposed uniformly and are non-refundable.
  • (2) In the event your Franchised Restaurant is not open and operating in compliance with our standards within nine months after the effective date of your Franchise Agreement (or within the required opening date for a subsequent Franchised Restaurant if you have signed an Area Development Agreement) and we have not granted you an extension, you will be required to pay us the Minimum Royalty Fee of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500) per month plus seven percent (7%) of your Gross Sales (if any). The Minimum Royalty Fee will be charged monthly for each month until your Franchised Restaurant opens in compliance with our standards and will be pro-rated for partial months. We also have the right to terminate your Franchise Agreement if your Franchised Restaurant is not open by the required opening date.

"Gross Sales" means all revenue derived from operating the Franchised Restaurant, including the aggregate of all sales amounts from food, beverages and other products sold and services rendered at the premises or otherwise rendered in connection with the Franchised Restaurant, and all monies derived from sales at or away from the Franchised Restaurant (including without limitation through a Crisp & Go Location), whether from cash, check, credit or debit card, barter exchange, trade credit, or other credit transactions, but: (1) excluding all federal, state or municipal sales, use or service taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority; and (2) reduced by the amount of any documented refunds, credits, allowances, adjustments, promotional discounts (including pursuant to the loyalty program), and charge-backs the Franchised Restaurant provides to customers in good faith. We treat each charge or sale upon credit as a sale for the full price on the day during which that charge or sale is made, irrespective of when you receive payment (whether full or partial, or at all) on that sale.

What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 6 outlines the due dates for various fees. Specifically, the Royalty and National Marketing Fees are typically debited from the franchisee's account on or after the Payment Day, based on the Gross Sales for the previous month.

If a Crisp & Green franchisee's restaurant is not open and operating within nine months of the Franchise Agreement's effective date, they will be required to pay a Minimum Royalty Fee of $7,500 per month, plus 7% of Gross Sales, charged monthly until the restaurant opens in compliance with standards.

Other fees, such as those related to Additional Cure Expenses, Securities Offering expenses, and Tax Assessments, are due upon demand. Damages upon Termination are due 15 days after termination. Crisp & Green requires franchisees to authorize automatic debits from their business checking account for Royalty, National Marketing Fees, and other amounts due.
