What is the Amorino requirement regarding the manager's other business activities?
Amorino Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If you operate multiple Amorino Stores, or if such supervisor is unable to devote his or her full time and efforts to the management and operation of the Store then, in addition to such supervisor, you must select an individual to serve as your manager. Any manager (or replacement manager) shall be subject to our prior approval and determination that he or she meets the qualifications for the position. We do not require the manager (or any replacement manager) to own any interest in the franchisee, but he or she must complete our initial training program to our satisfaction prior to assuming any management responsibilities at your Store. The manager must devote his or her full time and efforts to the operation and management of your Store, and may not engage in any other business or activity that would require substantial management responsibility or time commitment.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee operates multiple Amorino stores, or if the on-site supervisor cannot dedicate their full time and effort to managing the store, they must appoint a manager who meets Amorino's qualifications. This manager is subject to Amorino's approval and must complete the initial training program before assuming management responsibilities.
The manager's primary responsibility is to devote their full time and effort to the operation and management of the Amorino store. A critical condition is that the manager cannot engage in any other business or activity that demands substantial management responsibility or time commitment. This requirement ensures that the manager is fully dedicated to the Amorino franchise and can effectively oversee its daily operations.
This restriction on outside business activities is a common practice in franchising, designed to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that the manager's focus remains solely on the success of the Amorino store. Prospective franchisees should understand that this requirement is in place to maintain the quality and consistency of the Amorino brand and to protect the investment of both the franchisee and the franchisor.
