What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, details regarding customer engagement philosophy can be found within the System Standards detailed in the Operation Manuals.
Hydrodog franchisees are required to participate in any customer service or retention programs that Hydrodog establishes. Failure to comply with these programs or meet the required customer satisfaction index score or retention rate can result in mandatory remedial training at the franchisee's expense, the territory being deemed non-exclusive, monetary penalties, or even termination of the franchise agreement.
Hydrodog also reserves the right to establish a centralized Customer Sales Center to handle orders and customer inquiries. If implemented, franchisees must participate fully in this system and comply with all related procedures and protocols, potentially incurring additional fees. These measures underscore the importance Hydrodog places on standardized customer interaction and satisfaction across all franchise locations.
