What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Anago Franchise Disclosure Document does not specifically state who is in charge of managing employees for the Anago Subfranchise Rights Business. However, it does state that all current and future principals, employees, and agents of the Subfranchisor involved with the Subfranchise Business and having access to the Anago Manuals or any other Confidential Information, are required to sign a nondisclosure and noninterference agreement before Initial Subfranchisor Training or upon employment.
Since the FDD does not explicitly assign responsibility for employee management, it is likely that this responsibility falls on the Subfranchisee as the owner and operator of their business. The Subfranchisee would be responsible for hiring, training, and managing their own employees to ensure compliance with Anago's standards and procedures.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Anago during their due diligence process who is ultimately responsible for employee management within the Subfranchise Rights Business. Understanding the scope of these responsibilities is crucial for assessing the operational demands and potential liabilities of the franchise.
