Franchisee acknowledges that a Burros & Fries Business involves hard work and long hours. Franchisee acknowledges that we have not represented that this Business is going to be easy for Franchisee (or any of its Owners) and agrees to participate in the day-to-day operation of the Business. Unless otherwise approved in writing by us, Franchisee (or one of its Owners) is required to participate in the dayto-day operation of the Business for at least the first year of operation. After Franchisee's first year of operation, Franchisee (or one of its Owners) is not required to participate in the day-to-day operation, however Franchisee agrees that the Business must be at all times under the operation of a General Manager approved by us (as described in Section 12.F of this Agreement).

The General Manager will also be responsible for providing continuing guidance, oversight, day-to-day management, oversee all food preparation, enforce service standards and properly process all paperwork, reports and complaints.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Burros Fries Franchise Disclosure Document, after the franchisee's first year of operation, if the franchisee (or one of its owners) does not participate in the day-to-day operations, the business must be under the operation of a General Manager approved by Burros Fries.
The General Manager is responsible for overseeing operations, supervising employees, providing continuing guidance and day-to-day management. They also oversee all food preparation, enforce service standards, and properly process all paperwork, reports, and complaints.
While the FDD excerpt specifies the General Manager's responsibilities, it does not detail the specific training requirements or standards that Burros Fries imposes for General Manager approval. A prospective franchisee should inquire with Burros Fries about the specific qualifications, training programs, and approval process for General Managers to ensure they can meet these requirements.
