What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, before a Bhc restaurant opens to the public and before final inspections by any governmental agency, Bhc will conduct three on-site visits and a final walk-through inspection. The franchisee is responsible for a $600 inspection fee for these visits.
In addition to the inspection fee, the franchisee must also cover the costs of accommodation, transportation, meals, daily allowances, and other expenses for Bhc personnel during these visits. This applies for up to three visits per franchised restaurant.
It is important to note that any deficiencies identified by Bhc during the inspection must be corrected by the franchisee within 30 days. Failure to do so may result in the termination of the franchise agreement without any liability to Bhc.
