What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, Buns On Fire will provide site visits to franchisees as they believe necessary to help in the ongoing operation, advertising, and promotion of the Franchise Business. This falls under the general advisory assistance that Buns On Fire offers to its franchisees.
In addition to site visits, Buns On Fire also provides franchisees with guidelines and assistance in acquiring necessary items to operate the franchise. They offer expertise to improve franchise performance, provide advertising and marketing material specifications (with approval requirements for materials from other sources), and may offer content for social media pages, subject to their consent and administrative rights. Buns On Fire also provides updates to the Operations Manual, names of approved suppliers, protection of proprietary marks, equipment specifications, and administration of the Marketing Fund.
Furthermore, if requested by the franchisee, Buns On Fire may send a consultant to train, assist, and advise on operational issues at the Franchise Business. However, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Buns On Fire for travel expenses and paying the then-current per diem training fee for such consulting assistance. This suggests that while site visits are part of the general support, more extensive on-site help may come at an additional cost to the franchisee.
