What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the confidential operating manuals, referred to as the Operations Manuals, contain critical instructions, requirements, standards, specifications, methods, and procedures for running a Beyond Juicery Eatery Restaurant. These manuals cover a wide array of operational aspects, including the selection, purchase, service, and sale of products, as well as the maintenance and repair of the restaurant's physical premises, equipment, and décor. They also extend to employee-related matters such as apparel and dress, and business systems like accounting, bookkeeping, and record retention. These manuals also address brand protection standards and the specifics of purchasing, storing, and preparing menu items.
The Operations Manuals are subject to revisions at Beyond Juicery Eatery's discretion, with updates and changes delivered through supplements. These supplements become binding as if they were part of the original manual upon delivery to the franchisee. The format of the Operations Manuals can vary, including loose-leaf or bound volumes, bulletins, notices, videos, CD-ROMs, electronic media, online postings, emails, facsimiles, intranet postings, or any other medium capable of conveying the content.
For a prospective Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisee, this underscores the importance of adhering to the Operations Manuals and any supplements provided. These manuals dictate how the restaurant should be run, from the products offered to the maintenance of the premises. Changes to the manuals are binding, so franchisees must stay updated. The varied formats in which the manuals are delivered require franchisees to be vigilant in checking all possible communication channels to ensure compliance with the latest operational standards. Failing to adhere to these standards could result in a breach of the franchise agreement.
