What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Cilantro Taco Grill's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement does not supersede the initial franchise fee for each additional outlet, which remains the amount set forth in Section 4.1 of the agreement. Additionally, the royalty fee and local advertising costs will remain the same as the first franchise agreement.
Furthermore, the Multi-Unit Operator acknowledges and agrees that they will not receive any initial training related to each additional Cilantro Taco Grill outlet beyond the initial Franchise Agreement. The training received in the initial Franchise Agreement is deemed sufficient to allow the Multi-Unit Operator to construct, equip, open, and operate each of their Cilantro Taco Grill outlets in the Development Area.
In summary, while the then-current form of the Franchise Agreement may differ from the current form, certain financial obligations and the waiver of additional training are not superseded. This means that the Multi-Unit Operator can expect consistency in these specific areas as they develop additional Cilantro Taco Grill locations, but should also be prepared for potential changes in other aspects of the Franchise Agreement.
