How long must a Cilantro Taco Grill Franchised Business be in operation before offering catering and delivery?

According to Cilantro Taco Grill's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must operate their Franchised Business for at least 3 months before they are eligible to offer catering and delivery services. This is contingent upon receiving prior written approval from Cilantro Taco Grill.

This requirement allows Cilantro Taco Grill franchisees to first establish a solid foundation in dine-in and take-out services before expanding into catering and delivery. This phased approach can help ensure that franchisees have a good understanding of the Cilantro Taco Grill system and can maintain quality and service standards as they grow their business. It also gives the franchisor an opportunity to assess the franchisee's operational capabilities before approving additional services.

Franchisees should be aware that even after the 3-month period, offering catering and delivery is not guaranteed. It is subject to Cilantro Taco Grill's written approval, which likely depends on factors such as the franchisee's performance, compliance with brand standards, and local market conditions. Franchisees should communicate with Cilantro Taco Grill to understand the specific criteria for obtaining this approval and to ensure they meet all requirements before investing in catering and delivery infrastructure.
