Kitchen Solvers franchise FAQ
How much does it cost to open one — the total initial investment?
The total initial investment necessary to begin operation of your first Franchised Business under a development agreement ranges from $147,367 (for two franchised businesses) to $289,152 (for five franchised businesses). This amount includes the development fee and other costs but does not include additional costs for opening further franchises. [p.1] [p.21]
What is the initial franchise fee?
The initial franchise fee is a nonrefundable amount of $60,000 that must be paid at the time of signing the Franchise Agreement [p.12]. This fee includes the rights to an initial Territory as defined in Item 12 [p.142].
What are the ongoing royalty and advertising fees?
The franchisee must pay a brand fund fee of 1% of gross monthly sales and a royalty fee ranging from 2.5% to 6.0% of gross sales, depending on the amount of gross sales [p.142]. Additionally, there is an advertising fund contribution, though specific percentages are not provided; these fees support marketing and promotion programs determined by the company in its discretion [p.27].
How long is the initial franchise agreement, and can I renew it?
The initial franchise agreement is generally for a term of 10 years [p.142]. You are required to sign the then-current form of franchise agreement upon establishing each business, and there will not be another initial franchise fee charged for renewal of the license [p.59]. However, this agreement does not specify the exact terms or conditions for renewal beyond stating that you must execute the current form of Franchise Agreement [p.105] and that the franchisor may change its business model without your consent, which could affect renewals [p.4].
Can I sell or transfer my franchise, and what does that require?
According to the FDD, a franchisor can refuse to permit the transfer of ownership of a franchise except for good cause [p.7]. Good cause includes but is not limited to unspecified factors. If you wish to sell your franchise, the transferee must apply for consent from the franchisor, successfully complete the training program, and pay any applicable transfer fee as outlined in Paragraph 14 [p.80].
On what grounds can the franchisor terminate the agreement?
The franchisor can terminate the franchise agreement for good cause, which includes the failure of the franchisee to comply with any lawful provision of the franchise agreement and failing to cure such failure after being given written notice and a reasonable opportunity (no more than 30 days) to do so. [p.6]
What financial requirements — net worth and liquid capital — do I need to qualify?
This isn't specified in the excerpts.
Do I get an exclusive or protected territory?
No, you do not receive an exclusive territory. You may face competition from other franchisees, outlets owned by the company, or other competitive brands controlled by them within your designated area [p.32].
What training and ongoing support does the franchisor provide?
The franchisor provides ongoing support and training as deemed necessary [p.26], including any additional training as determined by them [p.65]. This support is part of ensuring franchise compliance with agreements and programs [p.24]. The initial training includes a Pre-Opening Training Program, which must be completed to the franchisor's satisfaction [p.30] and involves both in-person and virtual components [p.30].
How many franchised outlets are there, and how many have closed or been terminated?
As of December 31, 2025, there were fifty-eight (58) franchised outlets. Out of these, the number explicitly stated that one (1) outlet is located in Canada, and fifteen (15) were not in operation for a full twelve months as of December 31, 2025. The excerpts do not specify how many have closed or been terminated, only mentioning that Exhibit D includes information on franchisees who have been terminated, not renewed, reacquired by the company, ceased to do business under the franchise agreement, or have not communicated with the company within the last 10 weeks [p.64].
Does the franchisor share any financial performance or earnings information?
Yes, the franchisor may provide financial performance information. This can include actual records of existing outlets you are considering buying [p.41], but they do not make any financial performance representations and do not authorize their employees to make such representations either orally or in writing [p.44]. Written substantiation for this information will be provided upon reasonable request [p.41].
What am I restricted to selling, and where must I buy supplies?
You are restricted to selling only those products and services that the franchisor has approved in writing [p.62]. There is no specific mention of supply sources, but you may be required to purchase or lease items from the franchisor or a limited group of suppliers designated by them, which might be more expensive than other options [p.4].
