What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the process for establishing and updating PAR levels is covered in the managerial section of the Confidential Operations Manual. Specifically, the manual includes an overview of the inventory workbook and its functions, instructions on how to log into Sysco to place orders, and procedures for ordering, receiving, and storing deliveries with date tracking.
The manual explicitly states that franchisees will learn how to "Establish & Update PAR Levels as needed." This indicates that Crave provides franchisees with the knowledge and tools necessary to manage their inventory effectively. The manual also covers the Clover Dashboard, which includes reporting features, suggesting that franchisees can use this system to monitor inventory levels and sales data to inform their PAR level adjustments.
This training and documentation aims to equip Crave franchisees with the ability to maintain optimal inventory levels, reducing waste and ensuring they have enough stock to meet customer demand. By integrating inventory management with the Sysco ordering system and the Clover Dashboard, Crave seems to provide a comprehensive approach to inventory control.
