What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for the expenses incurred when implementing changes, additions, or modifications to the Burros Fries business. This includes changes to approved products, supplies, kitchen equipment, vendors, and suppliers.
Burros Fries retains the right to periodically add to, modify, or change approved products, supplies, kitchen equipment, vendors, and suppliers. There is no limit to the brand's right to do so. The franchisee must promptly accept and implement these changes in their business operations.
This means that if Burros Fries decides to change the POS system, require new kitchen equipment, or switch to a different supplier for ingredients, the franchisee will bear the financial burden of adopting these changes. This could involve purchasing new equipment, updating technology, or adjusting to new supply costs, impacting the franchisee's profitability and requiring careful financial planning to accommodate such potential changes.
