What This Means (2024 FDD)

Based on the 2024 Azal Coffee Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees agree that Azal Coffee may receive information directly from suppliers and authorize suppliers to provide information directly to them. Franchisees also agree to sign separate authorizations or additional documents requested by suppliers or that Azal Coffee deems necessary to obtain information directly from suppliers.

While the FDD states that Azal Coffee can obtain information from suppliers, it does not explicitly state that Azal Coffee has the right to require suppliers to allow periodic quality control inspections.

A prospective franchisee should ask Azal Coffee about its specific rights regarding supplier inspections and quality control to fully understand the franchisor's authority and the franchisee's obligations in maintaining product standards.
