Bb_Q_Chicken Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You are not permitted to conduct catering or delivery services from your Restaurant without our prior written consent. If we consent to your providing catering and/or delivery services we will designate the area in which you may provide these services. The area for your catering/delivery services will be determined in our sole discretion and the boundaries of the catering/delivery area may be different from the boundaries of your Designated Territory, but the boundaries of the catering/delivery area will not overlap with the catering/delivery
area granted to another Restaurant. The factors we consider when determining a catering/delivery area include geographic boundaries, population, income level and other demographic data that we believe will assist us in determining the area. Deliveries provided through third-party services (such as Grubhub and Uber Eats) will be allowed to proceed regardless of delivery area boundaries.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand considers several factors when determining the area in which a franchisee may provide catering and delivery services. These factors include geographic boundaries, population, income level, and other demographic data that Bb.Q Chicken believes will assist them in determining the area.
It is important to note that permission to conduct catering or delivery services is not automatically granted; franchisees must obtain prior written consent from Bb.Q Chicken. Furthermore, the area designated for catering/delivery services may differ from the Designated Territory outlined in the Franchise Agreement. However, Bb.Q Chicken ensures that catering/delivery areas do not overlap with those granted to other restaurants.
Despite these defined catering/delivery areas, deliveries provided through third-party services like Grubhub and Uber Eats are allowed to proceed regardless of these boundaries. This suggests that while Bb.Q Chicken aims to manage and control catering and delivery services directly offered by franchisees, it acknowledges the role and reach of third-party delivery platforms.
