What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as a franchisee, you must designate in writing the identity of your initial Designated Manager as soon as possible after the Effective Date of the Franchise Agreement. If you are an individual, you may serve as the Designated Manager. If you are an entity, an owner, officer or other qualified employee may serve as the Designated Manager.
Furthermore, both you and your initial Designated Manager are required to attend and complete the initial training program to Crepe De Licious's satisfaction at least two weeks before the opening of the Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck. This training is crucial for ensuring that the manager is well-prepared to operate the franchise according to Crepe De Licious's standards.
If a successor Designated Manager is appointed later, you must immediately inform Crepe De Licious in writing of the new manager's identity after the previous one ceases to serve. You are also responsible for adequately training any successor Designated Manager. If Crepe De Licious finds the training inadequate, the successor manager must complete the initial training program promptly. Failing to meet these training requirements can lead to additional training costs or even termination of the Franchise Agreement.
