What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, B Bops will provide advice and guidance regarding the proper operation of the franchise. This assistance typically includes consultation and advice on standard operating procedures for a B-Bop's Restaurant. B Bops will also provide assistance with specific operating problems encountered by the franchisee, analysis of financial reports submitted by the franchisee, development and implementation of advertising and promotional campaigns, and updates or improvements to the Licensed System.
The timing and methods of providing assistance and consultation are at the discretion of B Bops. These methods may include communication by telephone, updates to the Operations Manual, and on-site support trips required of B Bops. B Bops will make a minimum of two support trips per year to the Franchise Premises to provide on-site support and advisory services to the franchisee for the proper operation of the Franchise. These support trips are at the expense of B Bops and are scheduled at their discretion. Additional support trips requested by the franchisee are at the franchisee's expense.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that B Bops offers multiple channels for support, ranging from remote communication to in-person visits. The franchisee can expect regular operational advice, help with problem-solving, and updates to the B Bops system. However, the franchisee should also note that while some on-site support is included, additional support beyond the two annual trips will be an added expense.
