What is the deadline for a Checkers franchisee to furnish evidence of compliance with post-termination obligations?

According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must furnish evidence of compliance with post-termination obligations within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of the franchise agreement. This evidence must be satisfactory to Checkers.

This requirement means that a franchisee who is leaving the Checkers system, whether through choice or termination by Checkers, has a limited time to demonstrate they have met all their obligations. These obligations include items such as ceasing to use confidential information and discontinuing any internet communications related to the restaurant.

It is crucial for franchisees to understand and document their compliance with these post-termination duties promptly. Failure to provide satisfactory evidence within the specified timeframe could potentially lead to legal or financial repercussions from Checkers. Franchisees should consult with legal counsel to ensure they fully understand their obligations and how to properly document their compliance.
