What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Kitchen Solvers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a monthly Brand Fund Fee. This fee is currently equal to one percent (1%) of the franchisee's Gross Sales. Gross Sales includes all revenues from products and services sold through the Kitchen Solvers business, whether authorized or unauthorized by the franchisor, but excludes sales tax.
The Brand Fund Fee is payable on the same day as the monthly Royalty Fees. The FDD states that Kitchen Solvers may increase the maximum annual contribution to the Brand Fund with 30 days' prior written notice to the franchisee.
Franchisees should be aware that understated or underreported Gross Sales, Royalty Fees, or Brand Fund Fees by more than 5% will result in the franchisee reimbursing Kitchen Solvers for the cost and out-of-pocket expenses of any inspection or audit, in addition to the amounts owed.
