What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, if one of the owners of the franchise will not act as the operations manager, the franchisee must employ an operations manager to conduct on-site supervision of the Restaurant operations. This operations manager is required to complete the initial training program.
Item 8b of the FDD states that the franchisee may not commence operation of the restaurant until the franchisee has satisfied all conditions set forth in the agreement required to be satisfied by the franchisee prior to opening.
Therefore, if the operations manager does not complete the initial training program to the satisfaction of Carbones Pizzeria, the franchisee will not be allowed to open the restaurant. This could lead to delays and potential financial losses for the franchisee, as they are obligated to open the restaurant within one year of signing the Franchise Agreement, or Carbones Pizzeria may terminate the agreement and retain all amounts the franchisee has paid.
