The initial franchise fee is $25,000 per restaurant.
The Royalty is 4% of net sales and the Advertising fee is 1%.
The best model for profitability is one where the owner is the general manager of the store. This model saves the labor cost of hiring a general manager and makes sure that someone who is (literally) invested in the store is overseeing it. However, franchisees who are interested in operating multiple units must rely on general managers. We require that the active owner operator be at least a 10% owner of the store.
Every location is unique. But, generally, it takes six to nine months from signing the franchise agreement to opening the store. This depends largely on securing financing, finding the right location, local regulations, and the extent of the construction and build out at your new store.

No. While D.P. Dough is mostly in college towns, we are also located in areas where there are many young professionals, even if a college is not nearby.

D.P. Dough does not offer direct or indirect financing and will not guarantee your note, lease or other obligation.

It takes an estimated 9 – 12 months after you sign the Franchise Agreement before you begin operations. This timeline can greatly flucuate due to a number of factors including your diligence in the site selection and leasing processes and existing market conditions.
