What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must employ or engage at least one Manager on a full-time basis. This Manager is required to dedicate their entire time and attention during normal business hours to the management, operation, and development of the franchised business. The goal is to maximize gross revenue while adhering to sound marketing and business practices. The Manager cannot engage in any other business activity that demands their active participation during these normal business hours.
The term 'Manager' refers to the employee or agent designated by the franchisee to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Bath Tune Up franchise. This individual must successfully complete the initial training program provided by Bath Tune Up. If the franchisee is an individual, they have the option to serve as the Manager themselves.
This requirement ensures that each Bath Tune Up franchise has a dedicated and trained individual focused on its success. For a prospective franchisee, this means either committing to managing the business personally or hiring a qualified manager who meets Bath Tune Up's training standards and can fully dedicate their time to the franchise. The manager must also sign a confidentiality agreement before beginning the Training Programs if the franchisee is not the manager.
