What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Temporary Management Fee is due 'If incurred.' This fee, which ranges from $0 to $400 per day plus expenses, is charged when Hydrodog steps in to operate the franchisee's business under specific circumstances. These circumstances include events such as the franchisee's default, death, disability, or prolonged absence.
In practical terms, this means a Hydrodog franchisee will only be charged this fee if Hydrodog actually takes over the operations of their franchise. The amount can vary depending on the specific situation and the expenses incurred by Hydrodog during the management period. It is important to note that the franchisee will be responsible for covering not only the daily management fee but also any additional expenses that Hydrodog incurs while running the business.
Prospective franchisees should consider this fee as a potential cost in the event of unforeseen circumstances that prevent them from managing their Hydrodog business. Understanding the conditions under which this fee is applied and the potential financial impact is crucial for planning and risk management. Franchisees should clarify with Hydrodog what specific expenses are covered under this fee and how they will be documented and charged.
