What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific terms and conditions for advertising on the internet, as well as through facsimile, electronic mail, or other electronic methods. Any advertising through these channels requires prior written approval from All Team. These terms are detailed in the Confidential Operations Manual, which may restrict the content a franchisee can post on social media.
All Team maintains control over its established internet links, including www.RIFOOD.com, www.allteamfranchisecorp.com, www.foodteaminc.com, www.resourcesinfood.com, www.allteamstaffing.com and www.medteamstaff.com. Franchisees may be permitted to create social media accounts to advertise their agency, but this is subject to All Team's written consent and the terms specified in the Confidential Operations Manual. All Team reserves the right to revoke permission to operate any such social media outlet at any time.
Franchisees are generally prohibited from maintaining an independent internet presence for their agency unless otherwise provided by All Team. Furthermore, franchisees must submit all advertising and sales promotion materials, including internet advertising, to All Team for prior written consent. If All Team does not respond within twenty days of receipt, the advertising is considered unacceptable. All Team also requires franchisees to maintain listings for both the Temporary Service Business and the Permanent Placement Business on specific internet sites, as determined by All Team.
