Who determines if a Baya Bar Developer has demonstrated the necessary management skills for an additional outlet?

According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor determines whether a developer has demonstrated the necessary management skills to operate an additional Baya Bar outlet. This determination is based on the developer's ability to handle operation, organization, customer service, and record keeping. The franchisor makes this assessment in its sole discretion.

This means that Baya Bar has the ultimate authority to decide if a developer is ready to expand their operations. This condition is in place to ensure that all Baya Bar outlets maintain a consistent level of quality and service. The developer's compliance with existing agreements, including the Mandatory Development Schedule and Franchise Agreements, also plays a role in this assessment.

If Baya Bar determines that a developer does not meet the necessary conditions, including demonstrating sufficient management skills, Baya Bar can terminate the development agreement. This termination will be enacted via written notice to the developer. However, the termination of the development agreement does not impact any other agreements between Baya Bar and the developer, as long as the developer is in full compliance with those other agreements.
