What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Camp Margaritaville Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor has the sole discretion to determine the quantity of resources needed for the Task Force. The Task Force is provided by Camp Margaritaville to assist with pre-opening training and setup for the resort.
The Task Force may include key personnel and trainers from Camp Margaritaville, as well as trainers from existing Camp Margaritaville Resorts or other Margaritaville-branded venues. While Camp Margaritaville is responsible for the costs of its Task Force personnel, the franchisee is responsible for providing complimentary lodging to these personnel during the Task Force period.
Additionally, the franchisee is responsible for all other costs associated with the Task Force, including lodging, per diem, travel expenses, and any other costs related to the resort's use of the trainers. The Task Force support is provided for a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 14 days. If the franchisee is unable to demonstrate compliance with Camp Margaritaville's System Standards after the initial 14 days, the Task Force may stay longer, with the franchisee incurring a cost of $500 per day per trainer, in addition to covering the Task Force's additional expenses during the extended stay.
