Beauty_Bungalows Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You or a fully trained and qualified manager ("Manager"), who has completed our training program, must directly supervise, and participate in the actual day-to-day operation of the Beauty Bungalows Franchise on a full-time basis. Neither you nor your Manager may have an interest or business relationship with any of our business competitors. In the event that your Manager resigns or is otherwise terminated, you must hire a replacement approved by us in writing who meets our then current standards for Managers and who is approved by us in writing before hiring, within 30 days after the resignation or termination of the former Manager. You must train the new Manager within 30 days of hiring. If you are an entity, we do not require that your designated Manager own an equity interest in such entity. You are responsible for ensuring that your Manager, employees and contractors do not disclose our confidential information. Each of your officers, directors, partners, shareholders, or members (and, if you are an individual, immediate family members) who perform work for the business or who have access to our confidential information must execute our then-current form of Nondisclosure and Non-Competition Agreement, the current form of which is attached to this Disclosure Document as Exhibit G. Other than the above, we make no other recommendations and have no other requirements regarding employment or other written agreements between you and your employees. You may employ one Manager to oversee multiple Beauty Bungalows franchises that you own, subject to our approval. Factors that we will consider in deciding whether to approve a single Manager's oversight of multiple locations will include the Manager's prior business experience, the number of proposed franchises that the Manager will oversee, the geographic area in which multiple businesses are located, and other reasonable factors we determine from time to time in our business judgment.
