What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Supervising Principal must devote their full-time efforts to the Amorino store's operations. As such, the Supervising Principal is prohibited from engaging in any other business or activity, directly or indirectly, that demands substantial management responsibility or time commitment. This restriction applies unless it is inconsistent with the on-site daily supervision exception for Mobile Outlets or permitted if a manager is appointed.
This requirement ensures that the Supervising Principal is fully dedicated to the success of the Amorino franchise. By preventing involvement in other ventures, Amorino aims to maintain a high level of focus and commitment to the brand's standards and operations.
For prospective franchisees, this means that the individual designated as the Supervising Principal must be prepared to fully dedicate their working hours to the Amorino business. If the franchisee operates multiple Amorino stores or the Supervising Principal cannot commit full-time, a manager must be appointed and approved by Amorino to oversee daily operations. This manager is also subject to the same restriction against engaging in other businesses or activities that require significant management responsibility or time commitment.
