What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees need prior written consent from Amorino to provide off or on-site catering services. This requirement is explicitly stated within the terms and conditions of the Individual Unit Franchise Agreement.
This stipulation means that an Amorino franchisee cannot independently decide to offer catering services. They must first seek and obtain approval from Amorino. This allows Amorino to maintain control over brand consistency and service quality, even outside the traditional store setting.
For a prospective franchisee, this implies that catering opportunities could be a potential revenue stream, but it is contingent on Amorino's approval. A franchisee interested in catering should inquire about the criteria and process for obtaining this consent, as well as any associated fees or requirements.
