What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are ultimately responsible for all employment decisions within their franchise. While Byrider offers assistance with recruiting efforts, the final decision on hiring and employment terms rests solely with the franchisee.
Byrider provides recruiting services such as a tenured talent acquisition team, search strategy creation, job postings on multiple career sites, a texting platform, SEO optimization, interview process consultation, searching job boards for candidates, building daily alerts, reviewing and screening leads, setting interviews, debriefing with the hiring manager and candidate, monitoring job opening performance, help with offer letters, covering counteroffer possibilities, candidate engagement during onboarding, and welcome/check-in calls for new hires. These services are included in the Recruiting Fees.
Despite Byrider's support, the franchisee retains full autonomy in making employment-related choices. This means the franchisee is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable labor laws, creating a positive work environment, and managing employee performance. Franchisees should carefully consider their staffing needs and use Byrider's recruiting assistance to find suitable candidates, but the final hiring and management decisions are theirs.
