From whom must I purchase non-proprietary equipment for my Beyond Juicery Eatery restaurant?

According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase or lease all non-proprietary equipment, furniture, computers, inventory, small wares, ingredients, third-party delivery systems, and other materials from an 'Approved Supplier.' These suppliers are specifically approved by Beyond Juicery Eatery.

This requirement ensures that all Beyond Juicery Eatery locations maintain a consistent standard of quality and uniformity. While franchisees are not required to purchase or lease real estate from Beyond Juicery Eatery or its affiliates, the location must be approved by them. Franchisees are responsible for constructing and equipping their restaurants according to Beyond Juicery Eatery's approved design, specifications, and standards.

If a franchisee wishes to use a product or supplier not already approved, they must notify Beyond Juicery Eatery in writing and submit samples for evaluation. The franchisee will bear the costs of inspection, evaluation, and testing, which could amount to $5,000. Beyond Juicery Eatery typically completes its review within 30 to 45 days. The brand also reserves the right to re-examine or retest approved suppliers and revoke approval if standards are not maintained.

Beyond Juicery Eatery approves suppliers based on their ability to meet specific criteria, including conformity with specifications, protection of trade secrets, production and delivery capability, reputation, financial condition, adherence to food safety standards, and HACCP approval. The FDD indicates that purchases and leases described account for approximately 80% of the costs in establishing the Restaurant and 40% of the costs in operating the Restaurant.
