What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Moes Southwest Grill's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Repeated Inspection Fee is due 'On invoice'. This fee is incurred if Moes Southwest Grill or their representative inspects a franchise location due to repeated or continuing failure to comply with any provision of the Franchise Agreement.
The Repeated Inspection Fee covers a $500 non-compliance fee, plus any costs Moes Southwest Grill is charged by third-party inspectors or otherwise incurs. These costs can include the travel and living expenses of Moes Southwest Grill's representatives during the inspection.
This fee structure means that a franchisee could face significant and unpredictable expenses if they repeatedly fail to meet the brand's standards. Franchisees should ensure they understand and adhere to all requirements outlined in the Franchise Agreement to avoid triggering these inspections and associated fees. Paying 'On invoice' means the franchisee must be prepared to promptly handle these costs to maintain a good standing with Moes Southwest Grill.
