What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to maintain their restaurants according to the brand's standards and specifications. While the FDD mentions that franchisees must maintain their restaurants in compliance with the standards and specifications of the system, it does not explicitly state that franchisees must follow maintenance procedures specified by Beyond Juicery Eatery's affiliates. The franchisee is responsible for keeping the interior and exterior of their restaurant in good order and repair, including fixtures, furnishings, signs, and equipment.
Beyond Juicery Eatery can reasonably require franchisees to upgrade their restaurants to meet the system's current standards, but not more than once every five years. The cost of each renovation and modernization should not exceed $100,000. Franchisees are also obligated to renovate, repair, and alter the exterior and interior of their premises at their own expense as directed by Beyond Juicery Eatery.
If a franchisee fails to make the required renovations within 30 days of receiving written notice, Beyond Juicery Eatery has the right to complete the repairs or alterations themselves. In such cases, the franchisee must reimburse Beyond Juicery Eatery for all costs incurred. Additionally, franchisees are required to indemnify and hold Beyond Juicery Eatery, its franchisees, and affiliates harmless from any liabilities or costs, including attorney's fees, arising from these maintenance obligations.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Beyond Juicery Eatery the extent to which affiliate-specified maintenance procedures are part of the overall system standards and specifications. Understanding the specific maintenance obligations and the approval process for renovations is crucial for managing costs and ensuring compliance with the franchise agreement.
