What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Budget manual system uses a subject index to organize information. The subject index is an alphabetical listing of all subjects covered in the manual system. Each subject in the index is assigned a numeric code, which helps in locating the relevant information within the manual.
To find a specific procedure, a Budget franchisee would first consult the subject index to identify the appropriate chapter and section number. This numeric code then directs the franchisee to the specific location in the manual where the procedure is detailed. The manual itself is organized numerically, with pages filed from the lowest subject section numeric code to the highest.
This system ensures that franchisees can quickly and efficiently locate the information they need to operate their Budget rental business according to the franchisor's standards. The combination of an alphabetical subject index with numeric codes and a numerically organized manual allows for easy navigation and retrieval of information.
