Amorino Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

ITEM 15 OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTUAL OPERATION OF THE FRANCHISE BUSINESS

One of your individual owners must directly supervise the Store on-site. If the franchisee is an individual, general partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, such supervisor should be the individual franchisee or the individual member, partner, or stockholder who owns a controlling interest in the franchisee. If the franchisee is a business entity, the on-premises supervisor must have more than a fifty percent equity interest in the franchisee's business.

Such supervisor must successfully complete our initial training program and must devote full time and efforts to the management and operation of the Store on a daily basis, except that an owner of a Mobile outlet is not required to devote full time to day to day supervision of the Mobile outlet.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one of the individual owners must directly supervise the store on-site. If the franchisee is an individual, general partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the on-site supervisor should be the individual franchisee or the individual member, partner, or stockholder who owns a controlling interest in the franchisee. If the franchisee is a business entity, the on-premises supervisor must have more than a fifty percent equity interest in the franchisee's business.

This supervisor must also successfully complete Amorino's initial training program and devote their full time and effort to managing and operating the store daily. However, there is an exception for owners of Mobile outlets, who are not required to devote full time to the day-to-day supervision of the mobile outlet.

If a franchisee operates multiple Amorino stores, or if the supervisor cannot dedicate their full time and effort to managing the store, Amorino requires the franchisee to select a manager in addition to the supervisor. This manager, or any replacement, is subject to Amorino's approval and must meet the qualifications for the position. The manager is not required to have any ownership interest in the franchise but must complete Amorino's initial training program before assuming management responsibilities. The manager must also devote their full time and effort to the store's operation and management and cannot engage in any other business or activity that would require substantial management responsibility or time commitment.
