Do any of Crave's officers have an ownership interest in any approved supplier?

According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, none of its officers has an ownership interest in any approved supplier. This is stated in Item 8, which discusses restrictions on sources of products and services. Specifically, it mentions that Master Chef Mobile Kitchens (the designated supplier for food trucks) and Imperial Dade (the designated supplier for logo'd paper products) are suppliers in which Crave's officers have no ownership interest.

This lack of ownership interest could be seen as a positive for prospective franchisees. It suggests that Crave's decisions regarding suppliers are less likely to be influenced by the personal financial interests of its officers. This can foster trust that the approved suppliers are chosen based on merit, quality, and value for the franchisees, rather than benefiting specific individuals within the Crave organization.

However, it is important for potential franchisees to conduct their own due diligence on all approved suppliers. While Crave officers may not have a direct ownership stake, it is still possible that other relationships or incentives could exist. Understanding the supplier landscape and comparing prices and quality with alternative options (where available) is a prudent step for any franchisee before making purchasing decisions.
