Quick fee read: $20K franchise fee · 14% royalty/ad burden. These figures are directional screening data, not a substitute for reading the current FDD and speaking with existing operators.
CodeFu requires a total initial investment of $22K to $25K (midpoint approximately $23K), with an initial franchise fee of $20K. The ongoing fee burden is 14% (10% royalty plus 4% advertising fund). This is in line with industry norms of approximately 15.5%.
CodeFu does not publicly disclose Item 19 financial performance data in their FDD. This is a significant transparency gap — franchisees must rely on validation calls and personal research rather than audited financial representations. Prospective buyers should demand current unit-level financials from existing operators during due diligence.
Prospective franchisees should verify all figures against the most recent FDD, conduct validation calls with multiple existing franchisees, and consult with a franchise attorney before signing any agreement.
