What is the deadline for a franchisee to confirm their participation in the Bonchon Accelerated Architectural Services Program (BAASP) after receiving the BAASP Eligibility Notice?
Bonchon Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Once we have approved the site for your Restaurant Location, we will determine (in our sole business
judgment) your eligibility to participate in BAASP based on the overall project timeline for the construction of your Restaurant and probability that the lease for your Restaurant Location will be executed. If we determine that your site qualifies for BAASP, then we will notify you of your eligibility to participate in the program ("BAASP Eligibility Notice"). You will have three (3) business days from the date you receive our BAASP Eligibility Notice, to confirm if you wish to participate in BAASP ("BAASP Participation Confirmation Notice"). If we timely receive your BAASP Participation Confirmation Notice, we will schedule an initial call with you and a Bonchon authorized architect ("Architect of Record" or "AOR") to begin the design process.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has a limited time to decide whether to participate in the Bonchon Accelerated Architectural Services Program (BAASP). After Bonchon approves the site for the restaurant location and determines the franchisee's eligibility for BAASP, Bonchon will issue a BAASP Eligibility Notice.
The franchisee then has three business days from the date of receiving the BAASP Eligibility Notice to confirm their participation in the program by sending a BAASP Participation Confirmation Notice to Bonchon.
If the franchisee meets this deadline, Bonchon will schedule an initial call between the franchisee and a Bonchon-authorized architect to begin the design process. This accelerated program aims to streamline restaurant development by allowing construction planning and permitting to start while the lease terms are still being negotiated.
