Can Chicken Guy delegate its obligations and duties under the Franchise Agreement for a Chicken Guy restaurant, and if so, to whom?

According to the 2025 Chicken Guy Franchise Disclosure Document, Chicken Guy has the right to delegate the performance of its obligations and duties under the Franchise Agreement. Chicken Guy can delegate these responsibilities to designees, which may include affiliates or agents of Chicken Guy, or independent contractors with whom Chicken Guy has contracted to provide this service. This delegation allows Chicken Guy to utilize various resources to fulfill its obligations to franchisees.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that certain services or support outlined in the Franchise Agreement may be provided by a third party rather than directly by Chicken Guy. This could include training, operational support, or other services. While Chicken Guy retains the overall responsibility for ensuring these obligations are met, the actual delivery may be handled by a designee.

This delegation provision is fairly common in franchising, as it allows franchisors to scale their support and services more efficiently. However, it's important for franchisees to understand who their primary point of contact will be and how to address any concerns or issues that may arise, regardless of whether the service is provided directly by Chicken Guy or a designee. Franchisees should confirm that the quality and consistency of support are maintained even when delegated to a third party.
