What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Burros Fries will consult with franchisees, without additional charges, about vendor and supplier relationships. This consultation extends to policies, approved products, menu and retail items, supplies, food preparation and presentation, and kitchen equipment.
Burros Fries will also provide updated and written lists of approved products, menu items, retail items, supplies, kitchen equipment, and services that franchisees are authorized to use, offer, and sell. They will also add and approve new vendors and suppliers, providing updated lists for all products, supplies, kitchen equipment, and services franchisees are allowed to purchase for their Burros Fries business.
Prospective franchisees should note that while Burros Fries provides these lists and approvals, the franchisee is responsible for purchasing or leasing the items. This support aims to help franchisees make informed decisions about their supply chain and maintain brand standards, while the franchisee retains responsibility for procurement and costs.
