What This Means (2024 FDD)
Based on the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is solely responsible for the safety and security of the Baya Bar location. This responsibility extends to the franchisee, their personnel, customers, agents, and the general public.
Baya Bar may offer suggestions regarding safety and security, but these are for guidance only and are not binding on the franchisee. The franchisee has full discretion and control over all safety and security matters at the location. This means the franchisee is the primary party responsible for ensuring the premises are safe and secure for everyone.
Furthermore, the franchisee's indemnification obligations, as detailed in Section 15.6 of the franchise agreement, apply to any claims made against Baya Bar regarding safety or security at the franchised location. This underscores the franchisee's responsibility for maintaining a safe environment and addressing any related claims or issues that may arise.
While the FDD specifies the franchisee's responsibilities for safety and security, it does not explicitly state who is permitted to inspect the Baya Bar franchised business location. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Baya Bar who has the right to inspect the premises, including the franchisor, and under what conditions such inspections would occur.
