Quick fee read: $9K franchise fee · 11% royalty/ad burden. These figures are directional screening data, not a substitute for reading the current FDD and speaking with existing operators.
Right First requires a total initial investment of $3K to $65K (midpoint approximately $34K), with an initial franchise fee of $9K. The ongoing fee burden is 11% (10% royalty plus 1% advertising fund). This is below the industry average of approximately 15.5%, leaving more margin for the operator.
Right First 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.
Right First operates approximately 71 franchised units. However, the brand has been contracting with a 25.3% net unit decline, which may signal franchisee dissatisfaction, territory saturation, or competitive pressure.
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.
