What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Kitchen Solvers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, operating a motor vehicle or enclosed trailer is a requirement for the business. The FDD indicates that franchisees may use their existing vehicle if it meets Kitchen Solvers' standards and specifications. The low end of the vehicle cost range assumes the franchisee will use their existing vehicle with signage. However, if the franchisee does not own a suitable vehicle, they must purchase or lease one capable of pulling a trailer.
The estimated cost for leasing a vehicle to serve as an installation vehicle is $700, which includes sales tax, license, and title fees. Alternatively, franchisees can purchase a trailer, with costs ranging from $6,000 to $8,000. The initial investment table lists the vehicle costs between $0 to $2,100 and the vehicle and/or trailer wrap costs between $1,000 and $2,500, payable to third-party suppliers before opening.
Kitchen Solvers also requires franchisees to wrap their motor vehicle or enclosed trailer with an approved branded vehicle wrap before opening their location. This is a one-time fee paid to a locally recommended vendor. The low end of the vehicle wrap cost suggests wrapping one motor vehicle or trailer, while the high end suggests wrapping both. The availability of materials and labor may necessitate using a different vendor.
