This fee will be deposited into our System Advertising Account (the "Fund") for ongoing technology or new product development (including recipes and menu items) or kitchen equipment development, and such national advertising or public relations programs as we, in our sole discretion, may deem appropriate to promote our mark. The Fund may also be used for local franchisee group advertising or marketing and Franchisee advisory council expenses; local, regional, national or international advertising or marketing; administration of advertising and marketing (including salaries, accounting, collection, legal and other costs), related expenses and any media (including media production costs) or agency costs.

We reserve the right to determine in our sole discretionthe composition of all geographic territories and market areas for the implementation and development of such programs. The Burros & Fries Restaurants owned by our affiliates may will contribute on the same basis to the Fund but are not required.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
Based on the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the availability and specifics of a rewards program for Burros Fries are not detailed. However, the FDD does outline how the System Advertising Fund is used, which could potentially include the development and implementation of a rewards program.
The System Advertising Fee, paid by franchisees, is deposited into the System Advertising Account. This fund can be used for various purposes, including technology development, new product development, kitchen equipment development, and national advertising or public relations programs. The franchisor has sole discretion over these programs, including creative concepts, materials, and media used.
While the FDD mentions the possibility of using the advertising fund for marketing, it does not explicitly state whether a rewards program is currently in place or planned. A prospective franchisee should inquire directly with Burros Fries about the existence of a rewards program, its structure, and how it is funded and managed. This information is crucial for understanding potential marketing strategies and associated costs.
