During the term of the Burger King agreement, what is the minimum number of individuals a franchisee must designate for on-premises supervision of the franchised restaurant?

According to Burger King's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must designate at least one individual to be responsible for the direct, on-premises supervision of the franchised restaurant during the term of the agreement. This individual is referred to as the "Restaurant Manager."

This requirement ensures that there is always a designated person overseeing the daily operations and ensuring compliance with Burger King's standards. While one Restaurant Manager is the minimum, Burger King acknowledges that various factors can influence the number of managers needed to effectively operate the restaurant and meet operational standards. The franchisee's designation of the minimum number of Restaurant Managers does not guarantee compliance with operating standards.

Prospective franchisees should consider this requirement when planning their staffing and operational budgets. They should also be prepared to potentially hire additional managers if necessary to maintain Burger King's standards and ensure smooth operations. The FDD emphasizes that meeting the minimum manager requirement alone does not guarantee compliance with all operational standards.
