So, since I’ve come onto the team a year-and-a-half-ago, we’ve started building infrastructure to boost growth. We’ve updated our training team, our technology tools and we are ready to grow aggressively.”&nbsp;In line with that plan, Willmarth has helped spreadhead the new incentive program, which will offer royalty relief to Franchise Owners who sign both a franchise agreement and lease in 2023. While standard royalties for&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.mooyah.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nrns-extra-serving-podcast-doug-willmarth-president-of-mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-2722679" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MOOYAH</a> are 6%, qualifying Franchise Owners can receive a reduction, meaning they will pay just 3% in royalties during their first year of operations, 4% the next and 5% the following, before returning to the standard 6% in the fourth year of operations.“That is why we launched this incentive, so that when our Franchise Owners open, they can be profitable as fast as possible,” said Willmarth. “That extra money gives you the ability to reinvest in the business.”Further, in working to ensure the Franchise Owners start strong and stay strong, MOOYAH is committed to matching funds put toward grand opening marketing through six months, up to $5,000. “We want them to have a robust marketing program so they can spread the word about the restaurant,” said Willmarth.Listen to the full podcast interview,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nrn.com/regional-chains/nrn-editors-discuss-restaurant-earnings-yum-brands-first-watch-and-more?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nrns-extra-serving-podcast-doug-willmarth-president-of-mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-2722679" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;For more information on the growing brand, connect with MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes on the Facebook&nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/Mooyah?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nrns-extra-serving-podcast-doug-willmarth-president-of-mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-2722679" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fan page</a>, and follow&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/mooyah-burgers-fries-and-shakes?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nrns-extra-serving-podcast-doug-willmarth-president-of-mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-2722679" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MOOYAH</a> on LinkedIn, Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/mooyahburgers?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nrns-extra-serving-podcast-doug-willmarth-president-of-mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-2722679" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">@mooyahburgers</a>, Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mooyahburgers/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nrns-extra-serving-podcast-doug-willmarth-president-of-mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-2722679" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> @mooyahburgers</a> and TikTok&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mooyahburgers?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nrns-extra-serving-podcast-doug-willmarth-president-of-mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-2722679" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">@mooyahburgers</a>.To learn more about MOOYAH franchise opportunities, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/mooyah/info">https://1851franchise.com/mooyah/info</a>
