You must provide delivery service of all approved menu items to customers located in your Territory. Delivery service must be made in accordance with our then-current delivery standards as described in the Manuals. Your delivery rights are not exclusive, and other Beggars Pizza® Restaurants may accept delivery orders and provide delivery services in your Territory. In addition, you may accept orders and provide delivery service of approved menu items outside of your Territory (except in the specific geographic areas specified in your Franchise Agreement) provided that you refrain from mailing or delivering, or directing any third party from mailing or delivering, by any means, any hard copy print advertising, door hangers, hand-out advertisements, coupons, mailers, or other hard copy advertisements to business and residential addresses outside of your Territory. Any hard copy advertisement in a newspaper or any other advertising by television, radio, the Internet, or any other print or electronic medium will not be subject to this territorial restriction. You do not have the right to use other channels of distribution such as the Internet, telemarketing, or other direct marketing to make sales outside of your Territory unless permitted by us in the Manuals or otherwise in writing.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must provide delivery service of all approved menu items to customers within their territory. The specific standards for delivery service are detailed in the Beggars Pizza manuals, which franchisees are expected to follow. These standards are subject to change, as they are defined as the "then-current" standards.
It's important to note that a franchisee's delivery rights are not exclusive. Other Beggars Pizza restaurants can also accept and provide delivery services within the same territory. Additionally, franchisees can accept orders and provide delivery service outside their territory, except in specific geographic areas outlined in the Franchise Agreement. However, franchisees are restricted from distributing hard copy advertisements outside their designated territory.
For prospective franchisees, this means understanding and adhering to the delivery standards outlined in the Beggars Pizza manuals is crucial. Franchisees should review these manuals carefully to ensure they can meet the required standards for delivery service. Furthermore, franchisees should be aware of the non-exclusive nature of their delivery rights and the potential for competition from other Beggars Pizza locations within their territory.
