What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bb.Q Chicken is not obligated to designate a web page for each franchisee's business. However, Bb.Q Chicken has the right to do so. Bb.Q Chicken also has the right to control all aspects of the website, including design, content, and functionality.
Bb.Q Chicken also reserves the right to refuse to post content or discontinue the operation of any web page. The franchisee is required to comply with Bb.Q Chicken's policies regarding the creation, maintenance, and content of any web pages that Bb.Q Chicken chooses to create for the franchisee's business.
The franchisee is responsible for paying any fees associated with the maintenance of the web page. This means that while Bb.Q Chicken may provide a web page, the franchisee will likely bear the costs of keeping it running. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, where franchisors often control the brand's online presence but franchisees contribute to the costs.
