What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must obtain a fully executed Remote Kitchen Agreement no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of the agreement. The Effective Date is the date the franchise agreement is signed. This means the franchisee has a limited time frame to finalize all necessary arrangements for the Remote Kitchen.
This requirement is crucial because it sets a firm deadline for securing the operational location. Failing to meet this deadline could potentially delay the opening of the Remote Kitchen, which must occur no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (unless Dog Haus extends the required opening date in writing). The franchisee also needs to locate one or more proposed sites that meet Dog Haus's standards within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date.
Prospective Dog Haus franchisees should be aware of these timelines and ensure they have a clear plan for site selection and agreement execution to avoid any delays. They should also maintain open communication with Dog Haus to address any potential challenges in meeting these deadlines. Securing the Remote Kitchen Agreement is a critical step in the franchise process, and adhering to the specified timeframe is essential for a smooth launch.
