What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer has fifteen (15) days to cure a failure to meet and/or maintain the Standards and Specifications after receiving written notification from Beyond Juicery Eatery. This means that if a developer's restaurant does not comply with the brand's established criteria for quality, appearance, or operational procedures, they have a limited time to correct the issues.
However, the FDD also states that if the developer cannot reasonably cure the default within fifteen (15) days, they must provide notice to Beyond Juicery Eatery with their best estimate of the time period required to complete the cure and immediately begin efforts to correct the default within the initial fifteen-day period. This indicates that while a 15-day cure period is standard, Beyond Juicery Eatery may allow for an extension if the developer communicates effectively and demonstrates a commitment to resolving the issue.
It is important for prospective developers to understand the specific Standards and Specifications outlined in the Operations Manuals and the Area Development Agreement to avoid potential defaults. Maintaining open communication with Beyond Juicery Eatery regarding any challenges in meeting these standards is also crucial to ensure a collaborative approach to resolving any issues that may arise.
