What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a Baya Bar franchisee's general manager is no longer able to serve in their capacity, the franchisee must notify Baya Bar and designate a replacement within 30 days. This replacement general manager is required to attend and satisfactorily complete the Initial Management Training Program.
The franchisee is responsible for covering all costs and expenses associated with the replacement general manager's training, including tuition. Until a replacement is fully trained, the franchisee must provide interim management that adheres to the terms of the franchise agreement.
Failure to comply with these requirements constitutes a material breach of the agreement. Baya Bar, at its discretion, may provide interim management support and charge the franchisee a fee, along with all associated costs like travel, lodging, and meals, until a properly trained general manager is in place. These fees will be withdrawn from the franchisee's designated bank account.
