What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beef O Bradys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, System Standards are prescribed from time to time. These standards are found in the manuals or communicated in writing or other tangible form. These System Standards are considered provisions of the Franchise Agreement and are periodically modified by Beef O Bradys, potentially to accommodate regional or local variations.
These modifications to System Standards may require franchisees to invest additional capital into their Family Sports Pub, referred to as "Capital Modifications," or may lead to higher operating costs. However, Beef O Bradys states that these modifications will not alter the franchisee's fundamental status and rights under the agreement.
Beef O Bradys agrees to give franchisees up to 90 days to comply with required Capital Modifications. However, if a Capital Modification requires an expenditure of more than $20,000, the compliance period extends to 180 days from the date of the request. Franchisees are obligated to comply with all modifications to System Standards, including Capital Modifications, within the specified time period. In any 12-month period, Beef O Bradys will not require franchisees to spend more than 25% of the total high-end Item 7 expenditure estimates for "Equipment," "Furniture, Fixtures & Millwork," "Audio and Video Equipment," "Leasehold Improvements," and "Signage", combined, as outlined in the Franchise Disclosure Document during the term of the agreement in connection with Capital Modifications.
Beef O Bradys reserves the right to require franchisees to make Capital Modifications to re-image their Family Sports Pub when at least 75% of the Beef 'O' Brady's System has already adopted such new re-image. Franchisees must also maintain the Family Sports Pub's interior and exterior and the surrounding area in a clean, orderly, and sanitary condition, complying with the requirements in the manuals and by federal, state, and local laws. Unless otherwise approved in writing, franchisees must operate the Family Sports Pub between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
