What does Crave review the site plan and final build-out plans and specifications for?

According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Crave reviews a franchisee's site plan and final build-out plans and specifications to ensure they conform to the construction standards and specifications of the Crave system. This review occurs after the franchisee and Crave have determined the layout and configuration of the franchised business location, and the franchisee has submitted a written request for approval.

This process is a standard practice in franchising, intended to maintain brand consistency and quality across all locations. By ensuring that each location adheres to specific construction standards, Crave aims to provide a uniform experience for customers and protect the brand's reputation. Franchisees are responsible for arranging the preparation and submission of these plans.

It is important to note that Crave's approval of the plans relates only to compliance with the Crave system. The approval does not constitute a warranty or guarantee that the plans are accurate, free of error, or compliant with all applicable laws, ordinances, and building codes. The franchisee remains responsible for ensuring full compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements. Prospective franchisees should consult with construction and legal professionals to ensure their plans meet all necessary standards.
