The Company's Compliance Department administers the Customer Service mailbox and phone line and tracks the complaints and responses. Franchisee is responsible for investigating, taking corrective action, and resolving these complaints. Franchisee must license and use the Byrider technology system necessary to operate day-to-day business.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Byrider Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee will interact with several departments during the development and ongoing operation of their business. Specifically, the Customer Service department handles both Agency Complaints (Better Business Bureau, Attorney General, etc.) and Direct Consumer Complaints. The Compliance Department administers the Customer Service mailbox and phone line, tracking complaints and responses.
Furthermore, Byrider provides specifications for the building, equipment, furnishings, decor, layout, and signs required to open and operate the Business. This indicates involvement of departments responsible for design, construction, and branding standards. The franchisee is also required to adhere to advertising standards set by the J.D. Byrider Advertising Group, suggesting a marketing or advertising department involvement.
In addition, Byrider grants access to its proprietary software and third-party technology services before opening, pointing to a technology or IT department. The franchisee must also comply with the National Compliance Program, indicating a compliance department that sets standards and conducts audits. These departments collectively ensure that each Byrider location adheres to the brand's standards and legal requirements.
