What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, recipes, standards, and procedures for preparing menu items are communicated to franchisees through the Manual or other written directives. These standards include recipes with prescribed ingredients and measurements, packaging guidelines, use of branded items, and inventory and product holding times. Franchisees must adhere to these guidelines for preparation, presentation, and service.
The Amorino Manual contains standards, methods, policies, procedures, systems, forms, and other confidential information that franchisees must implement and comply with when operating their store. The manual can be accessed online and may come in different forms, such as a paper binder, a tablet application, or an online website. Amorino retains the right to modify the System, including menu items and operating procedures, and will provide written notice of any such changes, with which franchisees must comply at their own expense.
Franchisees are granted access to the manual for the duration of the franchise agreement, and it remains Amorino's exclusive property. Franchisees must respect the confidential nature of the manual and operate their stores in strict adherence to its provisions. This ensures consistency and quality across all Amorino franchise locations, protecting the brand's reputation and customer experience.
