What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must appoint a Manager under specific circumstances. If a franchisee operates more than one Amorino store, or if the Supervising Principal cannot dedicate their full-time efforts to managing and operating the store, a Manager is required in addition to the Supervising Principal.
The Manager must receive advance approval from Amorino and must successfully complete Amorino's initial training program, as well as any additional training that Amorino may require. The Manager is expected to have full control over and dedicate their full-time efforts to the daily management and operation of the store.
The Manager is prohibited from engaging in any other business or activity that demands significant management responsibility or time commitment. Should the Manager leave the position or no longer meet the qualifications, the franchisee has 30 days to designate another qualified individual as a replacement. This replacement Manager must also be approved by Amorino in advance and complete the necessary training programs to Amorino's satisfaction. Amorino also defines a 'Manager' as someone who has full control over day-to-day store management, has completed Amorino's initial training, and devotes their full-time efforts to store operations.
