What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Crave will conduct visits to and evaluations of a franchised business as they determine necessary. These visits and evaluations are to ensure that the high standards of quality, appearance, and service of the Crave system are maintained. This is part of the assistance and services Crave provides during the operation of a franchised business.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that Crave retains the right to inspect and assess the business to ensure compliance with brand standards. These evaluations are not necessarily scheduled or predictable, but rather occur as Crave deems them necessary.
It is important for franchisees to consistently uphold Crave's standards to avoid negative consequences that may arise from these evaluations. Franchisees should maintain open communication with Crave and promptly address any issues identified during these visits to ensure a successful and compliant operation.
