What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Afuri Ramen Dumpling Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for signage permitting, if required. Specifically, the franchisee must ensure that their architect/designer handles the 'signage permitting if required' as part of the design work completed by others.
This means that as a prospective Afuri Ramen Dumpling franchisee, you will need to coordinate with your chosen architect or designer to ensure that all necessary permits for your signage are obtained. This includes understanding local regulations and submitting the required documentation. The FDD also mentions that the franchisee's architect should provide feedback regarding local building code compliance, further emphasizing the franchisee's role in ensuring compliance with local regulations.
This responsibility extends to other local code-specific plans needed to complete the permit set, such as grease management and tree preservation plans. The franchisee is also responsible for the permitting application and management, indicating a comprehensive obligation to handle all aspects of the permitting process related to the restaurant's design and construction.
