After you sign the Franchise Agreement, you will be given login credentials and access to the FRC at www.bambufrc.com. In addition to our Owner Operations Manual, the FRC contains Training Materials, our FRC Blog, FRC Forum, notices, marketing materials, art work, health compliance plan and information, and ordering platform, as well as other manuals, technical and news bulletins, and other written or electronic materials for operating a Bambū shoppe (collectively, "FRC Materials"). We may modify the FRC Materials in our discretion. We provide you with our mandatory and suggested standards and specifications for the menu items and retail products and related programs offered at or through your Bambū shoppe. Mandatory items include menu items and nutritional information, finishes, counter, POS/merchant service system, loyalty rewards program equipment, logoed paper products, uniforms, insurance, advertising materials, equipment, certain supplies and reports. You must obtain our prior written approval of your final plan, signage, and interior design. The FRC Materials are designed to protect our reputation, and promote the brand and goodwill of the Marks; they are not designed to control the day-to-day operations of your Bambū shoppe. You must comply with these standards and specifications, including the terms of any mandatory product recall promptly upon receipt of notice from us of such recall.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the website address for the Franchisee Resource Center (FRC) is www.bambufrc.com. After signing the Franchise Agreement, franchisees will receive login credentials to access the FRC.
The FRC is a crucial resource for Bambu franchisees, providing access to the Owner Operations Manual, training materials, a blog, a forum, notices, marketing materials, artwork, health compliance information, and an ordering platform. These materials, collectively referred to as "FRC Materials," are subject to modification at Bambu's discretion. Franchisees are required to adhere to the standards and specifications outlined in the FRC Materials, including those communicated via email, text messages, or other electronic methods (SMS).
The FRC Materials are designed to protect Bambu's reputation and promote the brand's goodwill, rather than controlling the day-to-day operations of the shoppe. Franchisees must comply with these standards and specifications, including promptly adhering to any mandatory product recalls communicated through the FRC. The FRC also outlines the franchisee's obligations and responsibilities regarding customer loyalty rewards programs, promotional campaigns, and insurance coverage.
