Must the trained and competent employee acting as a full-time manager for All Team maintain the confidentiality of confidential information?

According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, both the franchisee and their trained and competent employee acting as a full-time manager must maintain the confidentiality of All Team's confidential information. Specifically, the franchisee and their manager must agree to maintain confidentiality to the same extent as the franchisee. This obligation is tied to the requirement that the franchisee or a designated manager complete the Initial Training Program.

This requirement means that a prospective All Team franchisee must ensure that their manager understands and agrees to protect All Team's confidential information. This likely includes trade secrets, operating procedures, customer lists, and other proprietary information. The manager's confidentiality obligations are just as stringent as the franchisee's, emphasizing the importance All Team places on safeguarding its business methods and data.

Furthermore, All Team requires the designated manager and key employees to execute a Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement. This agreement would likely outline the specific types of information considered confidential and the restrictions on using or disclosing that information, both during and after their employment with the All Team franchise. The franchisee is responsible for ensuring these agreements are in place with their key personnel. This is a common practice in franchising to protect the franchisor's intellectual property and business model.
