What written certification regarding furnishings, fixtures, and equipment is required by Chicken Guy before opening?

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

Chicken Guy also requires franchisees to use only approved fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and signs that meet the brand's specifications and standards. These items must be purchased or leased from suppliers designated or approved by Chicken Guy. If a franchisee proposes to use any unapproved items, they must first notify Chicken Guy in writing and submit detailed information for approval. Chicken Guy has the right to delay the restaurant's opening if any construction is done without prior written consent, until the restaurant is in full compliance with Chicken Guy's specifications.

This requirement ensures that each Chicken Guy restaurant maintains a consistent brand image and operational standard. Franchisees need to be diligent in adhering to the approved plans and using only approved suppliers to avoid delays and potential additional costs. The written certification serves as a formal confirmation that the franchisee has met these requirements before commencing operations.
