What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Kitchen Solvers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay a monthly minimum fee, which varies based on the number of months the business has been open. During months 13-24 of operation, a Kitchen Solvers franchisee must pay a minimum fee of $600. This fee is part of the monthly Royalty Fee, where the franchisee pays the greater of either the Monthly Minimum Fee or a percentage of their monthly Gross Sales.
This minimum fee structure is designed to ensure that Kitchen Solvers receives a baseline royalty payment, especially during the earlier stages of the franchise when sales may be lower. As the business matures, the minimum fee increases, reflecting the expectation of higher sales volume. For months 0-6, the monthly minimum fee is $0, increasing to $300 for months 7-12, $600 for months 13-24, and $900 after 24 months.
It's important for prospective Kitchen Solvers franchisees to understand this escalating fee structure and factor it into their financial projections. While the percentage-based royalty allows for flexibility based on actual sales, the minimum fee ensures a consistent revenue stream for the franchisor. Franchisees should carefully consider their projected sales and ensure they can meet these minimum fee obligations, especially as they increase over time. This fee is uniformly imposed and is not refundable.
