What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Byrider FDD, franchisees must adhere to a standard prohibiting customer abuse. This is listed under the Byrider Franchising Values. The FDD references a "STANDARD: Prohibition against customer abuse" under section 2.3.
While the FDD mentions this standard, it does not provide specific details on what constitutes customer abuse or the exact measures franchisees must take to prevent it. It also does not detail the consequences of violating this standard.
A prospective Byrider franchisee should ask the franchisor for more detailed information about the specific standards and procedures related to the prohibition of customer abuse. This would include examples of prohibited behaviors, training programs for employees, and the disciplinary actions that may result from violations.
