What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, under the Multi-Unit Development Agreement (MUDA), Baya Bar is obligated to provide franchisees with standard specifications and layouts for building and furnishing their Baya Bar shop. This obligation is part of Baya Bar's continuing obligations to franchisees who enter into a MUDA.
In addition to providing the standard specifications and layouts, Baya Bar will also review the franchisee's site plan and final build-out plans to ensure they conform to Baya Bar's standards and specifications. This review process helps maintain uniformity and quality across all Baya Bar locations.
It is important to note that while Baya Bar provides these specifications and reviews plans, the franchisee is responsible for all costs, liabilities, and expenses associated with locating, obtaining, and developing the site, as well as constructing and equipping the shop. The franchisee is also responsible for selecting a site that meets Baya Bar's site selection criteria, subject to Baya Bar's acceptance.
