What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee operating a Remote Kitchen is required to pay a Royalty Fee on a weekly basis. Specifically, the Royalty Fee, calculated as four percent (4%) of the Gross Sales from the Remote Kitchen during the immediately preceding week, must be paid to Dog Haus every Tuesday.
This weekly payment schedule means that franchisees need to maintain consistent tracking of their gross sales to ensure accurate and timely royalty payments. Failing to remit the royalty fees on time could result in penalties or other consequences as outlined in the franchise agreement.
Prospective Dog Haus franchisees should consider this weekly obligation when forecasting their cash flow and financial planning. They should also clarify with Dog Haus what methods of payment are accepted and ensure they have systems in place to comply with the weekly reporting and payment requirements.
