If you wish to purchase or use any products or services for or at your Restaurant that we have not yet evaluated or purchase any product or service from a person or entity (a "Proposed Supplier") that we have not yet approved (for products and services that we obligate you to purchase only from designated or approved suppliers), you must submit sufficient information, specifications and samples for us to determine whether the product or service complies with the Standards and specifications and the proposed supplier meets our criteria.
For each Proposed Supplier, you must first deliver written notice seeking approval, which notice shall: (a) identify the name and address of the Proposed Supplier, (b) contain such information as may be requested by us or required in the Manual(s), bulletins, electronic communications and/or other directives (which may include financial, operational and economic information regarding its business and product), and (c) identify the products and/or services desired to be purchased or obtained through the Proposed Supplier.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wants to use a supplier that Angry Chickz hasn't already approved, the franchisee must first seek approval from Angry Chickz. As part of this process, the franchisee is required to provide certain information about the proposed supplier. This requirement applies to products and services that Angry Chickz mandates franchisees purchase from designated or approved suppliers.
The information the franchisee must submit includes the name and address of the Proposed Supplier. Additionally, the franchisee must provide any information requested by Angry Chickz, as outlined in the manuals, bulletins, electronic communications, or other directives. This requested information may include financial, operational, and economic details about the Proposed Supplier's business and products.
This requirement ensures that Angry Chickz maintains control over its supply chain and can verify that all suppliers meet its standards. It also allows Angry Chickz to assess the financial stability and operational capabilities of potential suppliers, which can impact the quality and consistency of products and services offered at Angry Chickz restaurants. Franchisees should be prepared to gather and submit this information when proposing a new supplier to Angry Chickz.
