Scenthound franchise owners earn approximately $61,000-$78,000 annually at the owner-operator level. Estimate based on AUV of $452,732 with industry-benchmarked operating cost assumptions applied (labor 30–35%, COGS 28–35%, occupancy 8–12%, overhead 5–8%).

How SharpSheets Calculates Scenthound Owner Income
Bottom-up methodology: AUV ($452,732) minus total fee load, minus operating costs (labor 30–35%, COGS 28–35%, occupancy 8–12%, overhead 5–8%) = $61,000-$78,000 estimated annual net income to the owner — not gross revenue.
Break-Even and Payback Period
At $61,000-$78,000 annual income on the disclosed range, the estimated payback period is 3–6 years. Owner-operated locations in strong markets compress this timeline significantly.
