What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must purchase the required insurance coverage within ten days of executing the Franchise Agreement. Bonchon requires franchisees to maintain specific insurance coverage throughout the term of the agreement.

This requirement ensures that Bonchon franchisees are adequately protected against potential liabilities and risks associated with operating a restaurant. The insurance coverage must be in forms and through insurance companies that Bonchon finds satisfactory.

The specific categories of required insurance include broad form comprehensive general liability coverage of at least $2,000,000 aggregate and at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, special cause of loss coverage on the restaurant and its contents, dram shop liquor liability insurance with limits not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate, business interruption insurance, automobile liability insurance if any vehicle is operated in connection with the business, and workers compensation insurance. Failure to maintain the required insurance constitutes a material breach of the Franchise Agreement, potentially leading to termination.
