Captain D’s Announces New Royalty Free Development Incentive

Why is now the time to invest in the #1 Seafood Fast-Casual Franchise? Because Captain D’s has announced a franchise growth incentive program benefiting both existing and new Franchise Owners.

Franchise Owners will receive up to 6 months of no royalty fees for locations that open 60 days or more ahead of their development schedule and 4 months royalty free for opening on time or only 90 days later than scheduled. Additional royalty free grace periods will be in place for Franchise Owners that meet different open date milestones, including:

  • 5 months royalty free when your location opens 30 days ahead of schedule
  • 4 months royalty free when your location opens no later than 90 days past your scheduled opening
  • 3 months royalty free when your location opens no later than 91-150 days past your scheduled opening

“Captain D’s is dedicated to helping Franchise Owners and the brand grow quickly,” announced Brad Reed, Chief Development Officer of Captain D’s. “The newly-launched incentive program means Franchise Owners can see an immediate return on their investment when they open ahead of schedule.”

There are so many moving parts that go into opening a Captain D’s Seafood Kitchen. Our development team has assembled a powerhouse of experts to help our Franchise Owners succeed by opening their restaurant in a timely manner. From finding the right real estate to engaging with the best construction partner, the Captain D’s development team works with the Franchise Owner every step of the way. Combining this support along with the addition of sophisticated restaurant operators who know their market well and bring strong real estate relationships to the table is serving Franchise Owners well. The incentives are already very well-received, “We’re seeing owners of other restaurant franchises take notice. They love that they can own a market with our fast-casual seafood franchise and be rewarded for expediting their opening,” said Reed.

**According to the 2023 FDD, the Development Incentive Program offer depends on the opening date of a restaurant. The royalty fee will equal the following amounts: (1) for restaurants opened at least 60 days prior to the scheduled opening date, we will not charge a royalty fee for the first six months after the opening date of the restaurant;

(2) for restaurants opened at least 30 days prior to the scheduled opening date, we will not charge a royalty fee for the first five months after the opening date of the restaurant;
(3) for restaurants opened no more than 90 days after the scheduled opening date, we will not charge a royalty fee for the first four months after the opening date of the restaurant;
(4) for restaurants opened no more than 150 days after the scheduled opening date, we will not charge a royalty fee for the first three months after the opening date of the restaurant; and
(5) for restaurants opened more than 150 days after the scheduled opening date, we will begin charging a royalty fee on the opening date of the restaurant.

† The average unit volume and EBITDAR amounts are for the top third of company restaurants open at least one full year as of the 2022 fiscal year-end. The company EBITDAR does not include a 4.5% royalty fee paid by franchisees, which would reduce the EBITDAR to $313,492.

This is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy a franchise. The offer of a Captain D’s franchise may take place only through the delivery of a current Captain D’s Franchise Disclosure Document or prospectus.
