What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the right to appoint a full-time manager to operate the franchise, but B Bops must approve the manager's qualifications. The manager must complete the training course to B Bops's satisfaction. The franchisee must remain active in the business by monitoring the manager's performance. The individual responsible for the daily management and supervision of the Franchise shall assume such responsibilities on a full-time basis and shall not engage in any other business or activity that requires significant time commitments or that may otherwise be detrimental to or interfere with the management obligations imposed hereunder.
Prior to opening the franchise, the franchisee or the proposed manager must attend and complete a training course conducted by B Bops at its principal office. This training includes on-site instruction regarding standard management procedures for operating a B Bops Restaurant. The initial franchise fee covers the course and all necessary materials for up to two people. The franchisee is responsible for covering all compensation, travel, lodging, and other expenses incurred by the franchisee or their employees while attending the training course.
If B Bops determines during the training course that the proposed manager is not qualified, they will notify the franchisee, who can then select and enroll a substitute manager in the course. B Bops has the discretion to extend the standard training period if they deem additional training necessary for satisfactory completion. This ensures that all managers are adequately prepared to uphold B Bops's standards and operational procedures.
