According to Kitchen Solvers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase a supplies package from the company. The cost of this package is $5,900, which is due upon the execution of the Franchise Agreement. This payment is made directly to Kitchen Solvers. A detailed list of the items included in the Supplies Package is included as Appendix C to the Franchise Agreement, which is attached to the Disclosure Document as Exhibit B.
This is a mandatory, one-time purchase that franchisees must factor into their initial investment. It is important for prospective franchisees to review Appendix C of the Franchise Agreement to understand exactly what is included in the supplies package. This will allow them to assess the value of the package and determine if it meets their needs for starting the Kitchen Solvers business.
