As a Bojangles franchisee, am I required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act?

We are not aware of any laws or regulations applicable to a Bojangles Restaurant that would not apply to restaurant businesses generally. You must comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, including health, sanitation, food handling, food preparation, waste disposal, smoking restrictions, alcoholic beverage restrictions, discrimination, labor, employment, sexual harassment and advertising laws. Your Restaurant will be subject to local health inspection authorities which govern the handling of food, temperatures and other health considerations. Federal law requires chain retail food establishments with more than 20 locations to disclose the number of calories of each standard menu item on the menu and menu boards, make additional written nutritional information available to customers on request and provide a statement on menu boards about the availability of additional information. In some states or municipalities or other political subdivisions there may be local regulations that limit trans-fats in foods offered for sale, or that require posting of calorie content or other nutritional information. There are other laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally (such as the Americans with Disabilities Act) with which you must comply. You should consult with your attorney concerning these and other laws and ordinances that may affect the operations of your Restaurant.
