Does Afuri Ramen Dumpling provide a patio seating plan as part of its deliverables for all locations?

According to Afuri Ramen Dumpling's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor provides a patio seating plan as part of its deliverables if needed. During the design development phase, Afuri Ramen Dumpling conceptualizes the finishes and interior design of the space based on the Afuri Design Model. As part of this process, they provide interior elevations and sections, construction details including custom seating and bar walls, wall finishes and countertop plans, and lighting and electrical plans.

For prospective franchisees, this means that if the location of their Afuri Ramen Dumpling restaurant includes a patio, the franchisor will provide a seating plan as part of the design deliverables. This plan is developed during the design development phase, ensuring that the patio seating aligns with the overall Afuri Design Model.

However, it is important to note that the provision of a patio seating plan is conditional. The franchisor only provides this plan if it is needed, implying that not all locations will automatically receive one. This could depend on factors such as the presence of a patio at the location or specific requirements and regulations related to outdoor seating in the area. Franchisees should confirm with Afuri Ramen Dumpling whether a patio seating plan will be included in their design deliverables based on their specific location and circumstances.
