According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to adhere to specific operating and maintenance procedures. These procedures are detailed in the confidential operating manuals, which Beyond Juicery Eatery can amend at its discretion. These manuals contain instructions, requirements, standards, specifications, methods, and procedures for running the restaurant.
The operating manuals cover a wide range of aspects, including the selection, purchase, service, and sale of all products and services. They also outline the maintenance and repair protocols for the restaurant, buildings, grounds, equipment, signs, interior and exterior décor items, fixtures, and furnishings.

This multi-format approach ensures that franchisees have access to the information they need in a way that suits their preferences and technological capabilities.
