What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beef O Bradys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if any of the franchisee's managers, bartenders, or other designated employees require food safety certification, the franchisee must pay a non-refundable ServSafe Certification Fee of $125 per person (or the then-current fee) to Beef O Bradys. This payment must be made at least 90 days prior to the scheduled opening of the Family Sports Pub.
The document specifies that Beef O Bradys will then remit this fee to the local ServSafe certification provider. The franchisee's designated personnel must obtain ServSafe certification before the Family Sports Pub opens for business.
This requirement ensures that all relevant staff members are certified in food safety before commencing operations, which is a standard practice in the restaurant industry to maintain hygiene and comply with health regulations. Failing to meet this requirement could delay the opening of the franchise and potentially lead to penalties or legal issues.
