What actions are Bonchon franchisees required to take to cooperate with Bonchon representatives during inspections?

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must act in good faith and use their best efforts to comply with their obligations under the Franchise Agreement. This includes cooperating with Bonchon in achieving the agreement's objectives.

This requirement means that Bonchon franchisees are expected to actively assist and work with Bonchon representatives during inspections or other operational reviews. While the FDD does not provide explicit details on specific actions required during inspections, the general obligation to cooperate suggests franchisees should provide access to records, answer questions honestly, and implement any necessary corrective actions promptly.

The obligation to cooperate is a standard clause in franchise agreements. Failing to cooperate could be considered a breach of contract, potentially leading to penalties or even termination of the franchise agreement. Prospective franchisees should clarify with Bonchon what specific actions constitute 'cooperation' during inspections to ensure they fully understand their responsibilities.
