What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wishes to offer items or services that have not been approved, they must first obtain prior express written consent from Crepe De Licious. The franchisee is required to submit any information, specifications, and samples of the unapproved items or services to Crepe De Licious.
Crepe De Licious will then notify the franchisee in writing within 60 days after receiving all the requested information and materials whether or not they are authorized to use or sell the product or service. The franchisee must refrain from deviating from the System Standards by offering, selling, or using any non-conforming items or services without prior express written consent from Crepe De Licious.
Crepe De Licious also specifies in the franchise agreement that a franchisee cannot sell any items offered by the Franchised Business outside of the Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck including, as an example, by food truck or catering services, without express written consent. This ensures that all offerings align with the brand's standards and protects the integrity of the Crepe De Licious system.
