What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the System Advertising Fund can be used to develop the intranet system. Burros Fries will establish policies and procedures for the use of the intranet system if they establish one.
These policies and procedures may address issues such as restrictions on offensive language, restrictions on communications that encourage breach of agreements with Burros Fries, confidentiality of transmitted materials, password protocols, grounds for suspending or revoking access to the intranet system, and a privacy policy governing access to and use of electronic communications submitted on the intranet system. As the administrator, Burros Fries can access and view any communication posted on the intranet system, and all communications posted will become their property.
Upon notice that the intranet system is operational, franchisees must purchase and install necessary additions to their computers and maintain electronic connection with the intranet system. This obligation continues until the agreement expires or terminates. Burros Fries may use part of the System Advertising Fund to develop, maintain, and further develop the intranet system.
