What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are a Remote Kitchen franchisee, Dog Haus may grant you the non-exclusive right to fulfill orders from Food Delivery Service customers in geographic areas immediately adjacent to your Protected Area who are not located within the protected area of another Dog Haus Restaurant. This grant is subject to Dog Haus's prior written consent. Dog Haus can revoke this right for any reason with 30 days' prior written notice.
As a Dog Haus Remote Kitchen franchisee, you must inform all Food Delivery Services about the delivery restrictions imposed on you. This means you need to ensure that the delivery services you work with are aware of the specific geographic boundaries within which you are authorized to fulfill orders.
This obligation is important because it ensures that you do not encroach on the protected areas of other Dog Haus franchisees. By adhering to these restrictions and informing your delivery partners, you help maintain the territorial integrity of the Dog Haus franchise system and avoid potential conflicts with other franchisees. This also highlights the importance of clear communication and adherence to the franchisor's policies to maintain a harmonious franchise network.
