Will the Chocolate Fish Coffee website include the franchisee's telephone number?

According to Chocolate Fish Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor will maintain a website for the Chocolate Fish Coffee brand. This website will include the franchisee's business information and telephone number. This is a benefit to the franchisee, as it provides a readily available online presence and contact information for potential customers. Franchisees do not have to create their own website, but will be included on the Chocolate Fish Coffee brand website.

This service is part of Chocolate Fish Coffee's post-opening obligations to its franchisees. By including the franchisee's telephone number on the brand website, Chocolate Fish Coffee aims to enhance the visibility and accessibility of each franchise location. This centralized approach to online presence can help drive traffic and customer inquiries to individual franchise locations.

It is important for prospective franchisees to confirm with Chocolate Fish Coffee how quickly their information will be added to the website after opening and what control they have over the information displayed. Franchisees should also inquire about any potential costs associated with maintaining their presence on the website, although the FDD suggests the brand fund may cover these costs.
