What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Dog Haus Remote Kitchen is typically located in an industrial park or other industrial area. These Remote Kitchens operate within partially equipped commercial kitchens inside multi-kitchen facilities. This model focuses on delivery and take-away food, primarily serving customers through online food ordering platforms.
This location strategy differs significantly from Dog Haus Fast Casual Restaurants and Biergartens, which are usually situated on major thoroughfares or in retail/shopping centers. The industrial location of Remote Kitchens reflects their operational focus on delivery rather than dine-in service.
For a prospective franchisee, this means lower real estate costs and potentially less competition for space, as industrial areas are generally less expensive than retail locations. However, it also means that the success of a Remote Kitchen heavily relies on efficient online ordering and delivery systems, as there is minimal or no walk-in customer traffic.
