What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for covering any fees that Dryject incurs when processing credit card payments. Specifically, if a Dryject franchisee chooses to make payments to Dryject via credit card, they will be required to reimburse Dryject for the credit card processing fees.
This means that in addition to the standard franchise fees such as the Royalty Service Fee and National Marketing Fund contributions, a Dryject franchisee must also budget for these credit card processing fees. The amount of the fee will depend on the credit card processing fee incurred.
This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors often pass on the direct costs of payment processing to franchisees. Prospective Dryject franchisees should consider this additional expense when evaluating the overall cost of investment and ongoing operational costs. It would be prudent to discuss with Dryject what the typical credit card processing fees have been for existing franchisees to get a better understanding of this potential expense.
