What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Anago Unit Franchisee is responsible for hiring, training, and managing their employees. Specifically, the franchisee is solely responsible for determining who they employ, the terms and conditions of their employment, including compensation, training, work hours, assigned duties, supervision, discipline, and termination.
This means that Anago franchisees have significant control over their staffing decisions and employee management. However, Individual Accounts may dictate specific service hours, methods, or staffing requirements, and it is the franchisee's responsibility to meet those requirements. Franchisees must also ensure their employees maintain a neat appearance and comply with any dress code required by Anago or the facility managers/clients.
Anago does not assume responsibility for any claims made by the franchisee's employees or contractors, and the franchisee must indemnify Anago against such claims. Furthermore, the franchisee is solely responsible for paying their employees' wages, and failure to do so constitutes a material default under the franchise agreement. This arrangement is typical in many franchise systems, where the franchisee operates as an independent business owner responsible for their own employees.
