Dog_Haus Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The financial performance representations that appear in Tables 1 through 9 below do not include costs of sales, operating expenses or other costs or expenses that must be deducted from Gross Sales to obtain your net income or profit. You should conduct an independent investigation of the costs and expenses you will incur in operating your Dog Haus Fast Casual Restaurant, Dog Haus Biergarten, or Dog Haus Remote Kitchen. Franchisees or former franchisees listed in this Disclosure Document may be one source of this information. The characteristics of each Dog Haus Fast Casual Restaurant, Dog Haus Biergarten, and Dog Haus Remote Kitchen included in this Item 19 and franchises for Dog Haus Fast Casual Restaurants, Dog Haus Biergartens, and Dog Haus Remote Kitchens that may be offered to prospective franchisees are generally similar, except for possible variances in square footage, layout and the like.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the financial performance representations in Tables 1 through 9 do not include certain costs and expenses. These tables present historical, unaudited information from franchisees for Dog Haus Fast Casual Restaurants, Dog Haus Biergartens, and Remote Kitchens open for at least one year as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. The figures provided represent gross sales.
Specifically, the financial performance representations do not include costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs or expenses that would be deducted from Gross Sales to determine net income or profit. This means that while the tables show the total revenue generated by these Dog Haus locations, they do not reflect the actual profitability after accounting for all the expenses associated with running the business.
A prospective Dog Haus franchisee should conduct their own independent investigation to determine the costs and expenses they will likely incur while operating their Dog Haus franchise. The FDD suggests that franchisees or former franchisees listed in the document may be a source of this information. Understanding these costs is crucial for accurately projecting potential earnings and making informed investment decisions. The document also notes that written substantiation for the financial performance representations will be made available upon reasonable request.
