What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Dog Haus Biergarten is required to have a minimum of six televisions. In addition to the minimum number of televisions, the Biergarten must have cable/satellite television capability with multiple control boxes, including DirectTV boxes, Dog Haus TV boxes and PC Music boxes.
This requirement ensures that Dog Haus Biergarten locations can provide an engaging atmosphere for their customers, typically centered around sports or other televised events. By mandating a minimum number of TVs and specific cable/satellite capabilities, Dog Haus aims to maintain a consistent entertainment offering across all of its Biergarten franchises.
Prospective franchisees should consider the costs associated with purchasing and installing the required number of televisions and the ongoing expenses for cable/satellite service. These costs will contribute to the overall investment needed to open and operate a Dog Haus Biergarten. Franchisees should also ensure they understand the approved types of control boxes to remain compliant with Dog Haus standards.
