	The DogOut ® provides a comprehensive training program covering all aspects of building and managing your business.
	Operations royalty is 5% of gross sales.
	The Franchise Agreement calls for a protected area based on zip codes around the franchised restaurant. Neither the Franchisor nor any other Franchisee will be permitted to establish a restaurant within the Franchisee's area as long as the Franchisee is in compliance with the Franchise Agreement.
	The DogOut ® is available to assist the Franchisee with operating problems. However, the Franchisee is ultimately responsible for the operation of the restaurant.
	The Franchisor encourages those who have the financial ability, to purchase more than one operation. Our system is partially market (location) driven and economy of scale is evident when two or more units are located within a marketing area. The Franchisor provides fee discounts for Multi-Unit investment: $25,000 for one restaurant; $30,000 for two restaurants; $40,000 for three restaurants, and $7,000 for each additional restaurant up to a maximum of ten.
