What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Beef O Bradys Franchise Disclosure Document, signing the provided agreement induces Family Sports to allow an individual to attend the initial training program. This program is designed to qualify individuals to own, operate, or manage a Beef O Bradys Family Sports Pub, contingent upon a franchise agreement between Family Sports and the individual, their employer, or an affiliated company.
By signing, the individual acknowledges the hands-on nature of the training, which involves operating food service equipment and supplies, thus carrying a risk of injury. The individual also confirms that they are not considered an employee of Family Sports or its affiliates during the training. Consequently, they are not entitled to workers' compensation coverage from Family Sports, although they may be covered by their own employer.
Furthermore, the individual waives any right to sue Family Sports or its affiliates for damages resulting from injuries sustained during the training program. However, this waiver does not extend to liabilities incurred under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. It is also clarified that participation in the training program does not guarantee the grant of a Beef O Bradys franchise, as franchises are awarded through a separate agreement.
