Step by Step - Becoming a KTU Franchise
Step 3 - Receive FDD, Sign & Return Receipt, Review FDD: Once your application is
approved, you’ll be emailed an electronic version of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)
which contains all the pertinent information about the franchise. It also includes a copy of the
franchise agreement. Upon receiving the FDD, immediately sign, date and fax us the Receipt
as we use this date as your starting point for disclosure. You must have possession of the FDD
for a minimum of ten business days for your review.
Step 4 - Talk to Kitchen Tune-Up franchise owners: At this point you’ll also have the opportunity
to call existing KTU franchise owners to learn about their experiences in our system. They will
