What section of the Cicis Franchise Agreement outlines the franchisee's responsibilities for improvements and modernization of the restaurant?

According to the 2025 Cicis Franchise Disclosure Document, Section B, titled "Improvements and Modernization," within the Franchise Agreement details the franchisee's responsibilities. This section states that Cicis franchisees are required to make improvements to their restaurant premises, equipment (including computer hardware and software), game room equipment, signs, interior and exterior decor items, fixtures, furnishings, supplies, and other products and materials needed for the restaurant's operation. These improvements must align with Cicis's current System Standards.

This requirement means that franchisees must be prepared to invest in updates and upgrades to keep their Cicis restaurant consistent with the brand's evolving image and operational standards. These changes could range from minor cosmetic updates to significant equipment overhauls, all aimed at maintaining a uniform customer experience across all Cicis locations.

The Franchise Agreement also mentions that Cicis will provide franchisees access to their manuals applicable to the development and operation of Cicis Restaurants. These manuals will contain mandatory specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules that Cicis periodically prescribes for operating Cicis Restaurants. Franchisees are responsible for complying with all System Standards as they exist from time to time.
