Is an Angry Chickz franchisee allowed to accept orders through online platforms?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are permitted to accept orders through online food ordering platforms, even if the customer is within the franchisee's protected area. Specifically, Angry Chickz retains the right to accept orders from any location through online platforms and fulfill those orders regardless of the customer's location. This means that while a franchisee may have a protected area, Angry Chickz itself, or its affiliates, can still accept orders from customers within that area through online systems.

This reservation of rights does not grant franchisees exclusive rights to any particular customer or potential customer. Angry Chickz, its employees, affiliates, representatives, franchisees, licensees, assigns, and agents are not restricted from accepting orders, including catering orders, from individuals both inside and outside the franchisee's protected area via online food ordering platforms. They can also deliver or fulfill these orders to customers located within the protected area.

This policy has significant implications for prospective Angry Chickz franchisees. While franchisees are granted a protected area, this protection does not extend to online orders. Angry Chickz retains the right to compete with its own franchisees within their protected areas through online sales. Franchisees should be aware that their exclusive rights are limited to physical, dine-in customers and do not encompass the online market, which could impact their potential revenue and market share.
