What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the website developed by Aw and its affiliate is called the "Papa Ray's Pizza Website". Aw and its affiliate may use this website to market and sell products and services worldwide, potentially competing with franchisees both within and outside of their protected areas.
Aw will provide franchisees with a page on, or a page linked to, the Papa Ray's Pizza Website. However, franchisees must adhere to the specifications, standards, and procedures outlined in the Operations Manual or in writing for developing and maintaining their page. All content on the franchisee's page is subject to Aw's prior written approval.
This arrangement means that while franchisees benefit from an online presence, they have limited control over their web content and must compete with Aw's direct online sales. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and review the Operations Manual for specific requirements and restrictions related to their online presence.
