What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must identify themselves as the owner of the restaurant and a system franchisee in conjunction with any use of Beggars Pizza's proprietary marks. This includes uses on invoices, order forms, receipts, and contracts.
The FDD specifies that a notice reflecting this information must be displayed in the content and form, and at conspicuous locations. These locations include the premises of the restaurant, any delivery vehicle, or electronic media. The specific locations and the form of the notice will be designated by Beggars Pizza in writing.
This requirement ensures that customers are aware that the restaurant is independently owned and operated as part of the Beggars Pizza franchise system. It also clarifies that the franchisee, and not Beggars Pizza itself, is responsible for the restaurant's operations and any obligations incurred. Franchisees should pay close attention to the franchisor's written instructions regarding the content, format, and placement of this notice to ensure compliance with the franchise agreement.
