What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'System' includes any amendments and improvements made by Bhc or its affiliates. The System is defined by a distinctive layout, service style, design, signs, décor, furnishings, recipes, procedures, and techniques for the sourcing, distribution, offer, and sale of Korean-style fried chicken, sandwiches, beverages, and other related products. It encompasses operating and service procedures, management practices, techniques, methods, knowledge, expertise, skill, and proprietary information related to the operation of a food and beverage business.
This definition extends to the layout and other systems and procedures related to the Master Franchise Business and the operation of Bhc Restaurants. The inclusion of amendments and improvements made by Bhc or its affiliates ensures that the System remains current and reflects the latest developments and best practices in the business.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that the Bhc system they are licensing is not static but will evolve over time. Bhc franchisees are expected to implement these changes and updates to maintain consistency and quality across all franchised locations. This also highlights the importance of ongoing communication and training from Bhc to ensure franchisees are aware of and can effectively implement these amendments and improvements.
