What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally required to purchase furniture, equipment, casework, and restaurant supplies from Amorino's approved third-party vendors or suppliers. For certain inventory, such as items needed to begin operating, franchisees may purchase from Amorino's affiliate, -18, or another approved supplier.
For specific supplies, the FDD lists approved suppliers for P.O.S. systems, freight, duties, storage, and delivery. Additionally, the FDD states that for equipment, decoration, and furniture required to open a Traditional, Kiosk, or Mobile location, franchisees source these from European vendors. Amorino may assist franchisees by providing contact information for appropriate suppliers upon request.
For additional funds needed to cover expenses like payroll, rent, and utilities during the first three months of operation, approved suppliers are listed along with the landlord and utility company as potential recipients of these funds. The FDD also mentions that store opening promotional fees are paid to third-party vendors.
Prospective franchisees should note that the suppliers may vary and are subject to change. It is important to confirm the current list of approved suppliers with Amorino before making any purchases to ensure compliance with franchise standards and to maintain consistency across the Amorino brand.
