What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to make all payments to Hydrodog or its affiliates via electronic funds transfer (EFT) or similar means. Franchisees must complete Hydrodog's current EFT authorization form.
The standard payment day is Monday of each calendar week for the previous week's gross sales. If Monday falls on a national holiday, the payment is due the next weekday. Franchisees must report their Hydrodog business's gross sales for the preceding week via telephone, internet, intranet, electronic means, or written form, as directed by Hydrodog.
Franchisees must ensure that funds are available in their account for withdrawal by electronic transfer no later than the payment day. Hydrodog specifies that all fees paid are uniform and non-refundable under any circumstances once paid to them or their affiliates. Fees paid to vendors or other suppliers may be refundable, depending on the vendor's policies.
