What will Bambu provide in the preassessment review?
Bambu Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We will conduct a preassessment review of your shoppe approximately one to two weeks prior to your soft opening to determine if onsite training can be scheduled. You must obtain our prior written approval before opening the shoppe. You must open the shoppe no later than one year after signing the Franchise Agreement unless we determine that circumstances warrant granting you an extension of time. In our preassessment review, we will provide you with a written list of anything that must be done or changed before opening or promptly after opening. You will not be permitted to open the shoppe until you have furnished the shoppe, purchased inventory, fully stocked the shoppe with menu items, and trained your employees. We reserve the right to perform a further walk-through of the location for your shoppe after you notify us that you are ready to open for business, at which time we may issue additional requirements for compliance before opening. You are deemed to have commenced operations and opened at the time that you have complied with all pre-opening obligations in the Franchise Agreement and your Bambū shoppe is first open to any paying customers.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor will conduct a preassessment review of the franchisee's shoppe approximately one to two weeks before the soft opening. The purpose of this review is to determine if on-site training can be scheduled. As part of this preassessment, Bambu will provide the franchisee with a written list of anything that must be done or changed before opening or shortly after opening.
This preassessment review is a crucial step in the opening process, ensuring that the location meets Bambu's standards and is ready for operation. The franchisee must obtain Bambu's prior written approval before opening the shoppe. The franchisee will not be allowed to open until the shoppe is furnished, inventory is purchased, the shoppe is fully stocked with menu items, and employees are trained.
Bambu also reserves the right to perform a further walk-through of the location after the franchisee notifies them that they are ready to open for business. During this walk-through, Bambu may issue additional requirements for compliance before opening. The shoppe is considered open when the franchisee has complied with all pre-opening obligations in the Franchise Agreement and the Bambu shoppe is first open to paying customers.
