What are the prerequisites for an individual to serve as a General Manager for an Azal Coffee franchise?

The Franchise Business must, at all times, be under the direct supervision of a general manager as described in this Section (the "General Manager"). The General Manager must: (i) devote his or her full time and effort to the day-to-day active management and operation of the Franchise Business; (ii) be personally responsible for the Franchise Business at all times; and (iii) personally exercise his or her best efforts to market the Franchise Business and maximize customer satisfaction. The General Manager must meet the following requirements before beginning to serve as General Manager for the Franchise Business: (1) successful completion of our initial training program and any retraining or refresher training programs specified by us; (2) signing an agreement relating to confidentiality and non-competition in a form approved by us; and (3) if specified by us, the General Manager must have an equity or profit participation interest in the Franchise Business.

If a Designated Owner is not the General Manager, the General Manager must be under the direct supervision of a Designated Owner. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Franchise Business is always under the supervision of a trained General Manager. Your failure to have the Franchise Business under the supervision of a trained General Manager is a material default under this Agreement.
