What is the Bambu franchisee required to do regarding the manager's background check for the Bambu shoppe?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no mention of a requirement for Bambu franchisees to conduct background checks on their managers. The FDD excerpts focus on various aspects of franchise management, training, and compliance, but do not specify any obligations related to background checks.

However, the FDD does state that the franchisee acknowledges the importance of proper management of the Bambu shoppe and must employ at least three Bambu Certified Team Leaders who have satisfactorily completed Bambu's Training Program. These leaders are responsible for the supervision and management of the shoppe. The franchisee is also responsible for ensuring that one of the Bambu Certified Team Leaders is available at the shoppe at all times upon demand by Bambu.

While the FDD does not explicitly require background checks, it emphasizes the franchisee's responsibility to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. It is possible that local or state laws may require background checks for employees in food service or management positions. Therefore, prospective franchisees should consult with legal counsel and local authorities to determine if background checks are necessary to comply with local regulations. Franchisees should also inquire directly with Bambu about any recommended or required background check policies.
