Will Angry Chickz furnish manufacturing specifications for proprietary items to franchisees?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, Angry Chickz will not provide franchisees with manufacturing specifications for proprietary items. However, upon request, Angry Chickz will furnish general specifications for non-proprietary items and services, provided these specifications are not already detailed in the manuals, bulletins, electronic communications, or other directives.

This means that while franchisees can get some information about the required standards for goods and services, they will not receive the detailed instructions needed to manufacture proprietary items themselves. This is a common practice in franchising, as franchisors typically want to maintain strict control over the quality and consistency of their proprietary products. Angry Chickz, through its affiliate Angry Chickz Distribution LLC, manufactures certain proprietary sauces that are sold to franchisees through broadline distributors. In 2024, this affiliate collected $10,500 from these sales.

If a franchisee wishes to use a new product or supplier, they must submit the proposed supplier for approval, including providing sufficient information, specifications, and samples for Angry Chickz to determine if the product or service meets their standards. Angry Chickz may also request product samples and specifications from the proposed supplier at no cost to them. The proposed supplier may also be required to comply with Angry Chickz's requirements regarding product quality, pricing, and other criteria. Ultimately, Angry Chickz reserves the right to disapprove a proposed supplier for any reason, including if it would disrupt their distribution arrangements.
