Investment, earnings, fees, and break-even analysis
4 questions
What is the typical timeline to break even on the $259K - $574K total investment, and what assumptions drive that estimate?
High Priority
How does the Item 19 data in the 2026 FDD compare to your best- and worst-performing locations, and what operational differences explain that gap?
High Priority
The disclosed average revenue is $579K — what percentage of open units are at or above that figure?
The royalty rate is 7% of Gross Sales. Is that applied to gross revenue or net revenue, and are there any volume tiers that reduce the rate over time?
Agreement terms, litigation, renewal, and exit
3 questions
The franchise agreement is 10 years. What are the conditions under which you can terminate the agreement early, and what recourse does the franchisee have?
What restrictions does the franchise agreement place on selling or transferring my franchise — including the right of first refusal and any transfer approval process?
There is a $9K renewal fee at the end of the term. What conditions must be met to qualify for renewal, and can the franchisor require a location upgrade as a condition?
Day-to-day running, staffing, and supply chain
3 questions
How many of your current franchisees are owner-operators versus semi-absentee investors, and do unit economics differ meaningfully between those models?
What does the ramp-up period look like for a new location — how long before most franchisees reach steady-state volume, and what are the most common operational mistakes in that window?
Are franchisees required to purchase supplies or inventory exclusively through approved vendors, and how do those prices compare to open-market alternatives?
Protection, boundaries, and encroachment
2 questions
How is my exclusive territory defined, what triggers a territory review, and under what circumstances can the franchisor modify its boundaries?
Does my territory protection extend to online and digital channels — including third-party delivery platforms — or is it limited to physical storefronts?
Onboarding, field support, technology, and marketing
5 questions
What does the initial training program cover, how long does it run, and who bears the cost of travel and lodging?
How many franchisees does each field consultant support, how often do they visit, and what does a typical support interaction look like?
What technology systems — POS, scheduling, inventory, CRM — are part of the franchise system, and what are the associated monthly or annual fees not listed in Item 6?
Is there an active franchisee advisory council, and how much influence does it have over system-wide decisions such as menu changes, pricing, or marketing campaigns?
The 3% of Gross Sales to the National Brand Fund ad fund contribution — who controls how those funds are spent, how is ROI measured, and can franchisees audit fund expenditures?
Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees with contact information. Calling at least five to ten owners is the single most valuable step in franchise due diligence — more informative than any disclosure document.
Ask them: Are you hitting the numbers you expected? Would you do it again? What does the franchisor do well, and where do you wish you had more support?
