Who must provide on-site supervision at a Better Blend business?

According to the 2024 Better Blend Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is generally expected to manage the Better Blend business. However, Better Blend requires the franchisee to not engage a third-party management company to manage or operate the business without prior written approval from Better Blend.

This means that a Better Blend franchisee is expected to be actively involved in the day-to-day operations of their business. While franchisees can hire employees to assist, they cannot completely delegate the management responsibilities to an outside company without Better Blend's consent. This requirement ensures that the franchisee maintains control over the quality and standards of the Better Blend business, aligning with the brand's expectations.

For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that owning a Better Blend franchise is not a passive investment. It requires a commitment to actively manage and oversee the business. Before signing the franchise agreement, prospective franchisees should discuss with Better Blend what circumstances might warrant approval for third-party management and what criteria Better Blend uses to evaluate such requests.
