We issue specifications and standards to you for applicable aspects of the franchise in our Manual and/or in written directives. We may issue new specifications and standards for any aspect of our brand system, or modify existing specifications and standards, at any time by revising our Manual and/or issuing new written directives (which may be communicated to you by any method we choose). We will generally (but are not obligated to) issue new or revised specifications only after thorough testing in our headquarters, in company-owned outlets, and/or a limited market test in multiple units.

Franchisees should pay close attention to any updates or directives from Bombs Away, as these changes could impact their daily operations, required purchases, or service standards. Franchisees should also clarify with Bombs Away what methods of communication are typically used to ensure they receive all updates promptly.
