What is the Carbones Pizzeria franchisee prohibited from displaying on the Restaurant without authorization?

According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is required to display the names and marks specified by Carbones Pizzeria on the Restaurant and on any stationery used in connection with the Restaurant. However, the franchisee is prohibited from displaying the name of any other product or person on the Restaurant or stationery unless they have prior written authorization from Carbones Pizzeria.

This requirement ensures that the Carbones Pizzeria brand remains consistent across all franchise locations. By controlling what names and marks are displayed, Carbones Pizzeria aims to maintain a uniform image and prevent any unauthorized association with other products or individuals that could dilute or damage the brand.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they must adhere strictly to Carbones Pizzeria's guidelines regarding signage and branding. Any deviation from these guidelines, such as displaying a local vendor's name without approval, could result in a breach of the franchise agreement. Franchisees need to seek and obtain written consent from Carbones Pizzeria before displaying any names or marks other than those specified by the franchisor.
