Is there an opening checklist for Afuri Ramen Dumpling franchises, and where can it be found?

The typical length of time between the signing of the Franchise Agreement or first payment of consideration for the Franchise and the opening of the Franchise for business is about 8 to 12 months. You are expected to complete the mandatory training program and commence your franchise business operations within 12 months after you sign the Franchise Agreement. Factors that may affect this time are finding and negotiating for the Franchise Premises, arranging for the training session, equipping the Franchise, obtaining initial equipment, financing and business permit requirements, and your personal operational needs. We will maintain an opening checklist that will enumerate all items that must be completed prior to opening your Franchise Premises. A copy of the opening checklist will be included in the Operations Manual. You must meet the requirements of the opening checklist and get our prior written approval before you schedule the opening date for your Franchise or make any press release or other publication of your anticipated opening. Any failure caused by a war or civil disturbance, a natural disaster, a labor dispute, shortages or other events beyond your reasonable control will be excused for a time that is reasonable under the circumstances. If we and you cannot agree on a site within the prescribed deadline, then we will have the right to terminate your Franchise Agreement. We will exercise this discretion in a reasonable manner and in good faith.
