What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chesters will periodically inspect the restaurant during its operation. This is part of Chesters's continuing obligations to the franchisee.
This inspection is a standard practice in franchising, allowing Chesters to ensure that franchisees are adhering to brand standards, operational procedures, and quality controls.
