Specifically, the FDD states that a Master Franchisee must fully participate with any gift card, customer loyalty, referral, and other contests and promotions that Bhc arranges for, requires, or authorizes Master Franchisees to participate in. Further details regarding these contests and promotions are outlined in the Operations Manual.
In addition to contests and promotions, Master Franchisees must also participate in all Bhc promotions described on Bhc's website, as well as all Bhc-authorized charitable fundraising and group discount programs. This requirement ensures that all Master Franchisees are aligned with Bhc's marketing and promotional efforts, contributing to a consistent brand image and customer experience.

It is important to review the Operations Manual carefully to understand the full scope of these requirements and how they may impact the Master Franchisee's operations and budget. Understanding the details of these promotions and contests is crucial for effective planning and execution.
