must conform to the specifications and quality standards established by us from time to time.
We approve suppliers who can match the exact ingredients, blend, freshness standards, overall quality, and appearance standards required by the "Beyond Juicery + Eatery" System. We apply the following general criteria in approving a proposed supplier: (1) ability to make products in conformity with our specifications; (2) willingness to protect the trade secrets of a product without dissemination to others; (3) production and delivery capability; (4) reputation and integrity of supplier; and (5) financial condition and insurance coverage of the supplier; (6) adherence to food safety standards; and (7) HACCP approved.
We may, but are not obligated to, negotiate arrangements with suppliers for your benefit. For example, we expect to negotiate better prices with suppliers based upon larger volumes, and these price discounts would inure to your benefit. As of the date of this disclosure document, we have not derived any material benefits based upon your use of any required purchases from Approved Suppliers, but our affiliates do and we reserve the right to do so in the future, nor do we provide any material benefits to you based upon your use of any required purchases from Approved Suppliers. We do not provide material benefits to you (for example, renewal or granting additional franchises) based upon your purchase of particular products or services or use of particular suppliers.
We reserve the right from time to time to establish exclusive arrangements with certain providers or suppliers for the benefit of the entire System. When we establish these exclusive System-wide supplier arrangements, you must participate.
We also may receive rebates or derive other revenue from suppliers based upon purchases by our franchisees. We and our affiliates reserve the right to receive additional rebates and revenue in the future.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific standards to ensure consistent product quality. The franchise system regulates the types, models, and brands of various items, including fixtures, furniture, equipment, signs, products, and supplies used in operating the restaurant. This encompasses everything from promotional items and uniforms to the food products and beverages offered. Franchisees are required to operate their restaurants according to the standards set forth in the Beyond Juicery Eatery system.
To maintain uniformity, Beyond Juicery Eatery requires franchisees to purchase proprietary inventory, including fruits, vegetables, spices, and other food products and raw materials used in preparing their recipes, from either Beyond Juicery Eatery or an approved supplier. Non-proprietary equipment, furniture, computers, inventory, small wares, ingredients, and third-party delivery systems must also be sourced from approved suppliers. This ensures that all elements of the restaurant's operation meet the franchisor's standards.
Beyond Juicery Eatery approves suppliers who can match the exact ingredients, blend, freshness, overall quality, and appearance standards required by the system. The criteria for supplier approval include the ability to make products in conformity with specifications, willingness to protect trade secrets, production and delivery capability, reputation and integrity, financial condition and insurance coverage, adherence to food safety standards, and HACCP approval. These measures are in place to ensure that all suppliers meet the high standards expected by Beyond Juicery Eatery, safeguarding the quality and consistency of the products offered to customers.
Beyond Juicery Eatery provides its standards and specifications in its Operations Manuals and other written materials, which are accessible to franchisees after signing an acknowledgment form. These manuals are subject to revisions and updates. Approved suppliers must also maintain these written specifications and requirements for their approved supplies. This comprehensive approach to standardization helps maintain the integrity of the Beyond Juicery Eatery brand and ensures a consistent customer experience across all franchise locations.
