3.07 Opening Assistance.If you (or the Operating Partner) have not previously owned or managed a Restaurant, and you are opening a new Franchised Restaurant under this Agreement (i.e. not a transfer of an existing franchise), then we will provide you with such on-site support at the Premises as we deem appropriate to assist you in starting Franchised Restaurant operations, including up to ten (10) total days of pre-opening, opening, and post-opening assistance, and up to three (3) of our personnel or designees as on-site resources to assist you, as we determine in our sole judgment. For avoidance of doubt, we solely determine the timing, scheduling and staffing of the on-site opening assistance we will provide you in accordance with this Section, including the calendar dates, times of our support and whether those support days are provided consecutively or intermittently.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Checkersrallys solely determines the specifics of on-site opening assistance. If a franchisee (or their Operating Partner) has not previously owned or managed a restaurant and is opening a new franchised Checkersrallys location, Checkersrallys will provide on-site support. This support includes up to 10 days of assistance before, during, and after the opening, utilizing up to three personnel or designees.
Checkersrallys has the authority to decide the timing, scheduling, and staffing of this on-site support. This includes setting the calendar dates, the times of support, and whether the support days are provided consecutively or intermittently.
This arrangement gives Checkersrallys significant control over the initial setup and launch of a new franchise, ensuring that the restaurant opens in a manner consistent with Checkersrallys's standards and operational procedures. For a prospective franchisee, this means they must be prepared to align their opening plans with the support schedule dictated by Checkersrallys.
