What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Checkersrallys FDD, franchisees are generally required to purchase goods, services, supplies, fixtures, equipment, and inventory from approved suppliers. However, Checkersrallys itself is not an approved supplier for any items, except that they may from time to time sell used modular restaurants and restaurant equipment to Checkersrallys franchisees.
To maintain consistent quality and service, franchisees must operate their restaurants according to Checkersrallys' methods, standards, and specifications. This includes purchasing goods, services, supplies, fixtures, equipment, and inventory only from approved suppliers. While franchisees are not required to purchase or lease anything directly from Checkersrallys or its affiliates, these entities can become approved suppliers for various items.
Franchisees are obligated to use only approved food products, beverages, ingredients, uniforms, packaging materials, menus, forms, labels, equipment, smallwares, and other supplies that meet Checkersrallys' standards. These items must be purchased from approved suppliers, distributors, and service providers, which may include Checkersrallys or its affiliates. Checkersrallys retains the right to modify the list of approved brands and suppliers, and franchisees must adhere to these changes by discontinuing orders from any supplier that is no longer approved after receiving notice.
