What is the required use of the premises for a Beggars Pizza franchise?

According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must use the premises solely for operating the franchised Beggars Pizza business. The franchisee is required to keep the restaurant open during the minimum hours and days specified by Beggars Pizza. The franchisee cannot use the premises for any other purpose or activity without first obtaining written consent from Beggars Pizza. The restaurant must be operated in strict compliance with the methods, standards, and specifications that Beggars Pizza prescribes in its manual or in writing. Franchisees must not deviate from these standards, specifications, and procedures without prior written consent from Beggars Pizza.

This means a prospective Beggars Pizza franchisee has limited flexibility in how they use the physical location of their franchise. They cannot operate any other type of business from the same location without express permission. This restriction ensures that the franchisee focuses entirely on the Beggars Pizza business and maintains the brand's standards. It also allows Beggars Pizza to maintain consistency across all franchise locations.

The agreement also states that upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, the franchisee must cease operating the Beggars Pizza restaurant immediately. They cannot represent themselves as a current or former franchisee. The franchisee must also stop using any confidential methods, procedures, techniques, or proprietary marks associated with the Beggars Pizza system. This includes all signs, advertising materials, and products displaying the Beggars Pizza trademarks. These obligations highlight the importance of adhering to the franchise agreement and protecting Beggars Pizza's brand identity, even after the agreement ends.
