What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement does not explicitly contain a section number that discusses holding a meeting of franchisees. However, Item 11 discusses the formation of an advisory council. If formed, the advisory council will be comprised of Crave's representatives and franchisee representatives. Franchisee representatives may be selected by Crave or by a vote of other franchisees in the System. If you participate on an advisory council, you will pay any expenses you incur related to your participation, such as travel and living expenses to attend council meetings.
The advisory council, if formed, will act solely in an advisory capacity and will not have decision-making authority. Crave retains the right to form, change, merge, or dissolve any advisory council and may develop by-laws for any advisory council.
Prospective franchisees should inquire with Crave about the typical frequency and format of advisory council meetings, the process for selecting franchisee representatives, and the types of issues that are typically discussed during these meetings. Understanding the dynamics of the advisory council can provide valuable insights into the level of franchisee input and collaboration within the Crave franchise system.
