You must purchase or lease and install all fixtures, furnishings, equipment (including computer hardware, software and point of sale system), décor items, signs and related items we require, all of which must conform to the standards and specifications stated in our Manual or otherwise in writing, unless you have first obtained our written consent to do otherwise. You may not install or permit to be installed on the Shop premises any fixtures, furnishings, equipment, décor items, signs, games, vending machines or other items without our written consent or that do not comply with our specifications.
To make sure that the highest degree of quality and service is maintained, you must operate the Shop in strict conformity with the methods, standards and specifications that we prescribe in the Manual or otherwise in writing. You must maintain in sufficient supply and use and sell at all times only those food and beverage items, ingredients, products, materials, supplies and paper goods that meet our standards and specifications. All menu items must be prepared in accordance with the recipes and procedures specified in the Manual or other written materials. You must not deviate from these standards and specifications by
the use or offer of non-conforming items, or differing amounts of any items, without obtaining our written consent first. We can, and expect to, modify our standards and specifications as we deem necessary. We will provide you notice in the Manual or otherwise in writing (such as via email) of any changes in our standards and/or specifications.
You must permit us or our agents, during normal business hours, to remove a reasonable number of samples of food or non-food items from your inventory or from the Shop free of charge for testing by us or by an independent laboratory to determine whether the samples meet our then-current standards and specifications. In addition to any other remedies we may have, we may require you to pay our then-current fee for the inspection and reimburse our costs for the testing if we have not previously approved the supplier of the item or if the sample fails to conform to our specifications.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standards and specifications for fixtures, furnishings, and equipment are primarily detailed in the Baya Bar Manual or otherwise provided in writing by the franchisor. Franchisees are required to purchase or lease and install all fixtures, furnishings, and equipment, including computer hardware, software, and point of sale systems, décor items, and signs, ensuring they conform to the standards outlined in the manual or in writing, unless written consent is obtained from Baya Bar for any deviations.
To maintain quality and service, Baya Bar franchisees must operate their shops in strict adherence to the methods, standards, and specifications prescribed in the manual or other written materials. This includes maintaining sufficient supply and using only those food and beverage items, ingredients, products, materials, supplies, and paper goods that meet Baya Bar's standards. All menu items must be prepared according to the recipes and procedures specified in the manual or other written materials.
Baya Bar retains the right to modify these standards and specifications as deemed necessary, providing franchisees with notice of any changes either in the manual or in writing, such as via email.
