  • Payroll includes the actual salaries, wages, bonus, overtime, and payroll taxes of franchisor-owned Centers. This includes the cost of the Manager, B2B Salesperson, Assistant Manager, Sales Associates, and delivery drivers.

  • Furthermore, the Cost of Goods Sold figure does not reflect operating expenses of the Center, which are significant and variable. Operating expenses include, for example, supplies, bank and credit card fees, travel, salaries and employee benefits, real estate costs, depreciation and amortization, selling expense and general and administrative expenses such as utilities and telephone service, legal and accounting fees, insurance, and repairs and maintenance.
  • In addition to operating expenses, you must pay 5% of gross sales for royalties and contribute 1.5% of gross sales to the National Marketing Fund and spend a minimum annual amount for Local Store Marketing and/or marketing cooperatives.
  • In addition to operating expenses, you will also incur the full cost of constructing, remodeling, and/or equipping your Center, including the cost of obtaining and maintaining the required computer system, a site license, and maintenance and support contract for the software.
