Selected fees
Royalty3.5% of Net Revenue in year 1 if in good standing; then greater of 7% or monthly minimum
Paid on the 10th and 25th. Losing good standing immediately triggers 7% or the minimum. Monthly minimums: $1,500 in months 7-12, $1,750 in 13-18, $2,000 in 19-24 and $2,500 from month 25. No minimum applies in the first 12 months while in good standing. Deadline extensions can trigger $2,500/month.
Advertising contribution1% of Net Revenue, paid twice monthly; may increase to 3% on notice
The brand fund contribution is paid on the 10th and 25th, separately from local spending. Net Revenue generally includes receipts from products and services after returns and discounts, but excludes separately collected sales taxes, charitable contributions and tips.
Local marketingAt least $2,500 per location per month, including $1,200 in digital media
Local spending starts after the grand opening, or in the opening month without an event. Digital media uses approved vendors and includes management fees. The $300 monthly platform fee is required before opening and counts toward local spending after opening. Amounts and allocations may increase on notice; spending may be directed to a co-op. Launch advertising is separate.
