What were Hyongbong Kim's responsibilities as General Manager of Bb.Q Chicken?

According to the 2025 Bb.Q Chicken FDD, Hyongbong Kim served as the General Manager for Bb.Q Chicken from May 2015 to July 2018. After this period, in August 2018, he transitioned to the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The FDD also indicates that Mr. Kim was the General Operations Manager of Genesis BBQ Global in Seoul, South Korea, from June 2014 to April 2015, and before that, the Operations Manager of Genesis BBQ, Co. Ltd in Seoul, South Korea, from January 2010 to May 2014.

While the FDD mentions Hyongbong Kim's previous roles, including General Manager, it does not explicitly detail the specific responsibilities associated with that position. However, the document does state that the franchisor may designate that attendance at any franchisee meeting is mandatory for the General Manager. This suggests that the General Manager is involved in the training and operational aspects of the franchise system.

Prospective franchisees should note that the FDD provides limited information about the day-to-day duties of the General Manager. For a clearer understanding of the role's responsibilities, it would be prudent for potential franchisees to directly inquire with Bb.Q Chicken about the specific duties and expectations for the General Manager position.

Understanding the General Manager's role is crucial for franchisees as this position often plays a significant part in the successful operation of the franchise. Clarification on these responsibilities will help franchisees in hiring, training, and managing their staff effectively.
