What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a designated manager is terminated or leaves employment, the franchisee must immediately step in to manage the day-to-day operations. This ensures continuity of the business until a suitable replacement is found.
The replacement designated manager must meet specific criteria. They must successfully complete the initial training program provided by Bevaris Alliance. This training is crucial to ensure the manager understands the Bevaris Alliance system and can uphold the brand's standards. The franchisor must also approve the new manager.
Additionally, the designated manager cannot have any conflicting interests or business relationships with Bevaris Alliance's competitors. To protect sensitive information, the designated manager is required to sign a written agreement. This agreement ensures they maintain the confidentiality of trade secrets and adhere to the non-compete covenants outlined in the franchise agreement.
