What is considered a 'Non-Traditional Venue' for a Capriottis Sandwich Shop restaurant?

According to the 2025 Capriottis Sandwich Shop Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Non-Traditional Venue' is defined as a captive-venue location. These locations include, but are not limited to, airports, hospitals or medical centers, limited-access highway food facilities, bus or train locations, entertainment and sports complexes, convention centers, military facilities, schools, colleges, and universities, office facilities, department and retail super-stores, off-site sales accounts, convenience stores, supermarkets, shopping malls and home-improvement retailers.

Additionally, Capriottis Sandwich Shop considers any location known as a "virtual kitchen," "ghost kitchen," or "ghost operation" to be a Non-Traditional Venue. These locations operate primarily or exclusively on a delivery and/or pick-up-only basis. This means that a Capriottis Sandwich Shop operating in such a venue would likely focus on fulfilling orders placed online or through delivery apps, rather than serving customers in a traditional dine-in setting.

It is important to note that Capriottis Sandwich Shop may have specific requirements or considerations for franchisees operating in Non-Traditional Venues. For example, the New Shop Opening Plan for non-traditional locations will be prescribed on a case-by-case basis as applicable for the particular location. Franchisees should carefully review the Franchise Agreement and any related amendments, such as the Franchise Agreement Amendment for Virtual Kitchen Operations, to understand their obligations and the franchisor's expectations for these types of locations.
