B_Bops Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

The Franchise Agreement requires you to devote your full-time and best efforts to the active management and operation of the Franchise, or to appoint a manager to devote such manager's full-time and best efforts to operation of the business. Although the Company recommends that you participate personally in the actual operation of your Franchise, you are entitled to appoint a full-time manager to operate the Franchise on a day-to-day basis, provided that: (1) the Company has approved the qualifications of such manager; and (2) you remain active in the business through monitoring such manager's performance in operating the Franchise. The Company will not unreasonably withhold its approval of your proposed manager, provided that such manager satisfies the Company's managerial standards and has completed the training course to the satisfaction of the Company. The individual responsible for management of the Franchise (you or your appointed manager) must assume such responsibilities on a full-time basis and may not engage in any other business or activity that requires significant time commitments or that may otherwise be detrimental to or interfere with the day-to-day management of the Franchise. If you are an entity such as a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, you may not be involved in any business or activities apart from ownership and operation of the Franchise (and operation of any other B-Bop's Restaurant pursuant to franchise agreements with the Company). In the event a manager is appointed to operate the Franchise, you are required under the Franchise Agreement to obtain an agreement from such manager containing a covenant not to compete and a restriction on the disclosure of confidential information. Your manager is not required to hold an ownership interest in the Franchise. The Franchise must at all times be operated under the on-premises supervision of you or your manager.

16. RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT THE FRANCHISEE MAY SELL

You are required by the Franchise Agreement to sell each of the food and beverage items contained in the standard B-Bop's Restaurant menu as established from time to time by the

Company. The Company has the right to modify the standard menu from time to time by deleting or adding food or beverage items and there are no limitations on the Company's right to make such modifications. You are prohibited by the Franchise Agreement from selling through the Franchise any food or beverage items not contained in the standard B-Bop's Restaurant menu and, in addition, from selling any other products or services not included in the Licensed System, unless such food or beverage item or such other product or service is first approved in writing by the Company. Similarly, you are prohibited from engaging in any business or activity on the Franchise premises apart from operation of a B-Bop's Restaurant.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you choose not to manage the franchise yourself, your appointed manager must meet certain standards to gain approval from B Bops. The company will not unreasonably withhold approval of your proposed manager, provided that the manager satisfies B Bops's managerial standards and has completed the training course to the satisfaction of the company.

The individual, whether it's you or your appointed manager, who is responsible for managing the B Bops franchise must dedicate themselves to this role on a full-time basis. They are prohibited from engaging in any other business or activity that demands significant time or could negatively impact the day-to-day management of the franchise. Furthermore, if your business is structured as an entity like a corporation or LLC, your involvement must be limited to the ownership and operation of the B Bops franchise.

Prior to the franchise opening, your proposed manager must attend and complete a training course conducted by B Bops at its principal office. This course includes on-site instruction covering standard management procedures for operating a B Bops Restaurant. If B Bops determines during the training course that your proposed manager is not qualified, you will be notified and given the opportunity to select a substitute manager for enrollment in the course. B Bops may extend the training period if they deem additional training necessary for satisfactory completion of the course.
