Where can I find information on bar procedures in the Bonchon operating manual, if applicable?

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, information on bar procedures, if applicable, can be found in Section C of the Daily Operating Procedures section of the operating manual. The manual includes topics such as 'What Makes a Good Bartender?', 'Bartender Steps of Service', and 'Alcohol Management'.

Prospective Bonchon franchisees should note that the inclusion of bar procedures in the operating manual is conditional ('if applicable'), suggesting that not all Bonchon locations may have a bar. This may depend on factors such as location, size, and the specific franchise agreement. Franchisees should clarify with Bonchon whether their specific location is expected to have a bar and, consequently, whether these procedures will apply to their operations.

The operating manual is considered confidential, as it contains proprietary information about the Bonchon system. Franchisees are required to keep the contents of the manual confidential and to use it solely for the operation of their Bonchon franchise. This confidentiality extends beyond the term of the franchise agreement, meaning that former franchisees cannot disclose or use this information even after their franchise has ended.

Understanding the contents of the operating manual, including the section on bar procedures, is crucial for franchisees to ensure consistent operations and maintain the standards of the Bonchon brand. Franchisees should carefully review this section, if applicable to their location, and ensure that their staff is properly trained on these procedures.
