What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the day-to-day business activities at a franchised restaurant must be under the direct, on-premises supervision of the franchisee (or their Operating Partner) or an appointed and authorized Operator. This Operator must have sufficient experience in quick-service restaurant operations, in Checkersrallys's opinion, and must successfully complete Checkersrallys's initial training program.
Even if an Operator is appointed, the franchisee (or their Operating Partner) must remain actively involved in overseeing the restaurant's ongoing business. If the franchisee (or their Operating Partner) owns multiple Checkersrallys restaurants, each location must have a qualified and approved Operator providing direct, on-premises supervision.
The franchisee (or their Operating Partner) is required to keep Checkersrallys informed about the identity of their Operators and ensure these personnel are competent. Ultimately, the franchisee (or their Operating Partner) retains sole responsibility for all employment-related decisions at the restaurant, including hiring, firing, compensation, personnel policies, training, benefits, and maintaining supervision and discipline.
