What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Nothing Bundt Cakes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to make combined contributions to the Media Fund and the Production Fund, which will total 5% of their weekly Net Revenues. These contributions are specifically earmarked for the Media Fund and are due on Tuesday of each week. The amount is based on the Net Revenues from the previous week, which ends on Sunday.
Nothing Bundt Cakes requires that these Media Fund Fee payments be made via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). This ensures timely and accurate processing of payments.
It is important for prospective franchisees to factor this weekly payment schedule into their financial planning. The consistent Tuesday due date means franchisees must maintain diligent accounting practices to ensure funds are available for timely transfer to Nothing Bundt Cakes. This weekly cadence is more frequent than some other franchise systems, which may collect advertising or marketing fees monthly or quarterly.
