What happens if an Azal Coffee franchisee fails to attend mandatory meetings?

According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee or their management personnel fail to attend required additional training without the franchisor's consent, Azal Coffee may charge liquidated damages. The specific amount or calculation method for these liquidated damages is detailed under Section 15.7 of the franchise agreement.

Azal Coffee requires a Designated Owner, General Manager, or other management employee to attend additional training, sales programs, and meetings.
