What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beyond Juicery Eatery Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are independent contractors and are responsible for the day-to-day operations of their businesses. Beyond Juicery Eatery does not operate the franchisee's business, nor does it have direct or indirect control or authority over the franchisee's day-to-day operations or employment-related decisions. The franchise agreement explicitly states that the relationship between the franchisor and franchisee is not that of principal and agent, legal representative, joint ventures, joint employer, partners, employee and employer, or master and servant. No fiduciary duty exists between the parties.
This independent contractor status means that franchisees have significant autonomy in managing their Beyond Juicery Eatery restaurants. They are responsible for hiring and managing employees, setting work schedules, and making other operational decisions. However, this independence also comes with the responsibility of ensuring that the restaurant adheres to Beyond Juicery Eatery's standards and procedures as outlined in the franchise agreement and operations manual.
Prospective franchisees should understand that while Beyond Juicery Eatery provides a proven business model, brand recognition, and ongoing support, the success of the franchise ultimately depends on the franchisee's ability to manage the business effectively. Franchisees must be prepared to invest the time, effort, and resources necessary to oversee all aspects of the restaurant's operations and ensure compliance with Beyond Juicery Eatery's requirements.
