When is the Royalty Fee due for a Dog Haus Remote Kitchen?

According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Royalty Fee for a Dog Haus Remote Kitchen is due each week. Specifically, it is due on Tuesday of each week based on the Gross Sales of the Franchised Restaurant during the immediately preceding week. The Royalty Fee for a Dog Haus Remote Kitchen is 4% of Gross Sales. Gross Sales includes all revenue from retail and wholesale sales of goods, merchandise, services, or products from your operations, but does not include bona fide refunds paid to customers, sales or use taxes actually paid to governmental authorities, or the retail price of any coupons, gift certificates, and vouchers when they are redeemed.

This weekly payment schedule is fairly typical in the franchise industry, as it allows franchisors to maintain consistent cash flow and promptly address any underpayments. The franchisee must ensure accurate tracking of gross sales on a weekly basis to calculate and remit the royalty fee on time to avoid potential late charges or penalties.

Dog Haus also specifies that unless otherwise noted, all fees are uniformly imposed and payable to them by electronic funds transfer or other automatic payment mechanism they designate and are non-refundable. Interest begins from the date of the underpayment. If state or local law prohibits or restricts the ability to pay and their ability to collect Royalty Fees or other amounts due to them based on revenue derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages at the Franchised Restaurant, they will reset the amount of the Royalty Fees or other sums payable to them and redefine Gross Sales to exclude the payment of Royalty Fees on revenue derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages to an amount that will have the same basic economic result for both the franchisee and Dog Haus.
