What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when using the Proprietary Marks, franchisees must identify themselves as the owner of the restaurant and as a franchisee within the Beggars Pizza system. This includes uses on invoices, order forms, receipts, and contracts.
Beggars Pizza requires franchisees to display a notice reflecting this information in a specific format and at conspicuous locations. These locations include the premises of the restaurant, any delivery vehicles, and electronic media, as designated in writing by Beggars Pizza. This ensures customers are aware that the location is a franchise and not directly operated by the parent company.
This requirement is fairly standard in franchising, as it clarifies the relationship between the franchisee (the local operator) and the franchisor (Beggars Pizza). It protects Beggars Pizza's brand reputation by ensuring customers understand who they are doing business with and allows Beggars Pizza to maintain quality control and consistency across all franchise locations. Franchisees cannot use the Proprietary Marks to incur any obligation or indebtedness on behalf of Beggars Pizza.
