Who must provide on-premises supervision at a Beem Light Sauna studio?

According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Required Trainee must provide personal, on-premises supervision at the studio at all times it is open for business, unless otherwise specified in the manuals. Additionally, the Designated Manager or another trained manager must be available during all business hours. The franchisee cannot allow any other person or entity to operate, manage, direct, or control the studio without Beem Light Sauna's prior written consent.

This requirement ensures that the Beem Light Sauna studio adheres to the franchisor's standards and maintains quality control. The franchisee, as the owner, must ensure that either they, their Designated Manager, or another trained manager is always present to oversee operations. This could impact staffing and scheduling decisions, as the franchisee needs to have a plan to cover all open hours with qualified personnel.

The franchisee is responsible for all labor and employment-related matters, including hiring, firing, and training employees. Employees must be qualified to perform their duties according to the System Standards and pass a background check. While Beem Light Sauna may provide optional employment-related policies and procedures, the franchisee decides the extent to which these policies apply to their studio operations.

If the Designated Manager leaves, the franchisee has 30 days to hire and train a replacement. If they cannot immediately find a replacement, Beem Light Sauna may provide a temporary Designated Manager, but the franchisee will have to pay a Management Fee for this service. This highlights the importance of having a plan for manager turnover to avoid potential disruptions and additional costs.
