What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in addition to the daily management fee, franchisees may incur expenses related to the Temporary Management Fee. Hydrodog is permitted to step in and operate a franchisee's HydroDog Business in certain situations, such as default, death, disability, or prolonged absence.
This means that if Hydrodog takes over the operations of a franchise, the franchisee will be responsible for covering not only the daily management fee, which ranges from $0 to $400 per day, but also any additional expenses that Hydrodog incurs while managing the business. These expenses are not defined in the FDD, so a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Hydrodog on what these expenses might include.
It is important for potential Hydrodog franchisees to understand the circumstances under which Hydrodog might step in to manage their business and to budget for the potential costs associated with this temporary management, including both the daily fee and any additional expenses. Understanding these potential costs can help franchisees prepare for unforeseen circumstances and maintain the financial stability of their Hydrodog business.
