Selected fees
Royalty6% of Gross Sales monthly, subject to annual minimums
Starts when operations begin, payable on the 10th for the preceding month. Gross Sales includes materials and amounts customers pay directly to service providers; it excludes sales tax collected and paid when due. Annual minimums can require a shortfall payment.
Advertising contribution2% of monthly Gross Sales; lower rates at higher annual sales
Annual Gross Sales determine the rate: 2% up to $3,000,000, 1.5% between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000, and 1% above $5,000,000. Payments cover the preceding month and are due on the 10th. Rates may change or differ for some franchisees. The fund need not spend a set amount in your territory.
Local marketingAt least 10% of Gross Sales in year one; then 8%, 7%, or 5% by annual sales
After year one: 8% below $1 million annual Gross Sales, 7% from $1 million to $3 million, and 5% above $3 million. Separate from the brand fund. Cooperative contributions count; the required vehicle wrap does not count toward year one's minimum. Advertising needs prior approval. Shortfalls may be collected through the brand fund.
