What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee operating a Remote Kitchen must comply with both the Franchise Agreement and the Remote Kitchen Agreement. The franchisee is obligated to adhere to all terms and conditions outlined in the Remote Kitchen Agreement throughout the term of the Franchise Agreement and its addendum.
Furthermore, if the Remote Kitchen Agreement contains terms that are more demanding or add additional requirements beyond what is specified in the addendum to the Franchise Agreement, those more stringent terms will also apply to the franchisee. This means that the franchisee must be prepared to meet potentially higher standards or more extensive obligations as dictated by the Remote Kitchen Agreement.
This requirement ensures that the Remote Kitchen operations align with the standards and expectations set by both Dog Haus and any specific requirements of the Remote Kitchen facility itself. Prospective franchisees should carefully review both the Franchise Agreement and the Remote Kitchen Agreement to fully understand their obligations and responsibilities.
