What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Operating System' is defined as the plan and system, which is updated and revised periodically, used to provide real estate property management services. This system incorporates All County's software, accounting methods, merchandising techniques, equipment selection, advertising strategies, promotional techniques, personnel training, and quality standards, all featuring the All County Marks.
This Operating System includes all proprietary materials, the Operating Standards, Marks Standards, and Technology Standards. For a prospective franchisee, this means that All County provides a comprehensive and evolving framework for running the real estate property management business. This framework covers not only the day-to-day operations but also the branding and technological aspects of the franchise.
The franchisee must adhere to the standards and procedures outlined in the Operating System to maintain uniformity and quality across all All County franchises. The franchisor retains the right to modify and update the Operating System, so franchisees must stay informed of any changes to remain compliant. This ensures that all franchisees operate under a consistent brand and service delivery model.
