What written certification regarding furnishings, fixtures, and equipment must a Chicken Guy franchisee provide before opening?

According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, prior to opening, a franchisee must certify in writing to Chicken Guy that the installation of all furnishings, fixtures, equipment, signs, computer terminals, related equipment, supplies, and other items has been completed. This certification is a prerequisite for Chicken Guy to authorize the opening of the franchised restaurant.

This requirement ensures that the Chicken Guy restaurant is fully equipped and ready to operate according to the franchisor's standards before it opens to the public. It also confirms that the franchisee has completed the necessary steps to set up the restaurant with all the required elements.

Chicken Guy also retains the right to conduct a final inspection of the restaurant to determine compliance with the franchise agreement. This inspection, combined with the franchisee's written certification, provides Chicken Guy with assurance that the restaurant meets its standards before opening. If the franchisee fails to meet these requirements, Chicken Guy can delay or deny the opening of the restaurant.
