What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the construction, maintenance, or operation of your Papa Ray's Pizza Restaurant causes a threat or danger to public health or safety, you will receive written or oral notice from Aw or a governmental authority. Upon receiving such notice, you must immediately cease any activity or conduct causing the threat or danger.
Furthermore, you are required to complete the cure of such breach within twenty-four (24) hours. This means you have a very limited time frame to address and resolve the issue to avoid further action from Aw.
Failure to comply with these requirements could lead to further action by Aw, potentially including termination of the franchise agreement. It is crucial for prospective franchisees to understand and adhere to all health and safety regulations to prevent such situations from arising and to respond swiftly and effectively if they do occur.
