You invest.We operate.
Dumont franchises are conventional FOCO or FICO only. No franchisee-run stores — because per-gram pricing, chocolate fountains and a menu that flips every 21 days need trained operators on the floor, not a handbook.
Franchise-Invested, Company-Operated.
Same capital partnership, different revenue-share. Same answer on who runs it: us.

Questions
The straight answers.
FOCO or FICO — what's the difference?
FOCO (Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated): you fund the store; we run it end-to-end. FICO (Franchise-Invested, Company-Operated): a similar capital partnership with a different revenue-share. Either way, you don't run the day-to-day — we do.
Why don't you offer a conventional franchisee-run model?
Because the new Dumont experience — per-gram pricing, chocolate fountains, topping bars, customisation — needs trained operators running the floor. FOCO and FICO let us scale without compromising consistency.
What store formats are available?
Three: Flagship at 1,200 sq ft, Minus 1 at 800 sq ft, and Kiosk at 400 sq ft. We'll recommend the format based on your site and city after the first conversation.
What does the investment look like?
Investment varies by format and city. We share the full FDD-style document with format-specific economics after our first call.
What's included in your support?
End-to-end. Site selection, store design and build, equipment and kit, hiring and training the on-floor team, weekly cold-chain product supply, and centrally-run marketing including the 21-day flavour calendar. You bring the capital. We run the brand.
Do I source ingredients myself?
No. Every flavour ships from our manufacturing facility on a regular cold-chain schedule. That's what keeps the product consistent across every Dumont — and the kitchen footprint at your store small.
