   The MD receives a percentage of the franchise fee and a percentage of the royalties.
   
   
3. What is the Master Development fee?
   Geographic territories are purchased based on population and/or other significant factors like median income level, purchasing power of population, etc. The territory's qualification for Master Development will be based on certain eligibility factors and criteria. Please contact the Masala Bowl® Corporate for more details.
   
   
4. How do you determine territories?
   Territories are determined by county population using www.NACO.Org and www.census.gov.
   
   
5. How will I learn to be a Master Developer?
   Master Developers must complete an MD training program along with an in-store operations training program.
   
   
6. Do I need food service experience?
   No, many of our current Master Developers come from diverse backgrounds such as business, marketing, sales, and management.
   
   
7. Why would I be a Master Developer?
   Master Developers share in the growth and excitement of building a worldwide brand in the Quick Service Indian Food segment. This ground floor opportunity gives MDs the ability to build a large network of ongoing franchise relationships.
   
   The franchisor grants exclusive development rights for a particular geographic area to a Master Development investment group. Within its territory, the Master developer may either develop individual franchise units for its own account (MD's need to own and operate at least one unit of Masala Bowl®) or find independent franchisees to develop units. In return for the rights to an exclusive territory, the Master developer pays the franchisor a front-end development fee and commits to develop a certain number of units within a specified period of time.
   
   The front-end fee is generally significantly less than the sum of the individual unit fees.
   
   Individual franchisees within the territory pay all the contractual franchise, royalty and advertising fees directly to the parent franchisor. The Master developer has a share in the franchise fee and in on-going royalty fees. In essence, the Master developer is buying multiple locations over time at a discount and has a residual equity position in the profits of its "Master franchisees".
