Does Bambu have the discretion to provide a Bambu franchisee with social media use policies?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bambu has the discretion to provide franchisees with social media use policies. Specifically, Bambu may provide franchisees with social media use policies for posting to approved social media sites and applications, such as the franchisee's Yelp and Google pages. Franchisees may be required to use the social media platform to respond to comments on Yelp and Google and to provide information on views of social media postings.

This means that Bambu franchisees must adhere to any social media use policies provided by Bambu. These policies are designed to ensure consistent branding and messaging across all Bambu locations and online platforms. It also allows Bambu to manage the brand's online reputation and customer interactions effectively.

However, Bambu also retains the right to change or discontinue these social media use policies at its sole discretion. This gives Bambu flexibility to adapt its social media strategy as needed, but it also means that franchisees must be prepared to adjust their social media practices accordingly. Franchisees should stay informed of any changes to the social media policies to ensure compliance and maintain a positive online presence for their Bambu shoppe.
