If you desire to offer additional items or services that we have not approved, or desire to purchase approved items and services from any supplier who we have not approved, we will consider any written request by you for approval of additional items, services or suppliers (although we are not obligated to approve any).

We will notify you of our approval or disapproval of any new item, service or supplier requested by you within a reasonable time (usually within 90 days) after we have received all of the relevant information we requested. We may withhold approval of any item, service or supplier, as we determine in our discretion. We can revoke approval of an approved supplier at any time in our sole discretion, and we will notify you of any revocation of supplier approval.

If an intranet system like this is established, we or our affiliate will administer and maintain it, and we will provide you and/or your Designated Manager with access to this system. Subject to the System Standards, we will continue to allow you and/or your Designated Manager to access our intranet system during the term of this Agreement, so long as you are not in default under this Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Crepe De Licious Franchise Disclosure Document, the Management Agreement does not explicitly specify deadlines for the manager to complete tasks. However, the agreement does state that if a franchisee desires to offer additional items or services or purchase approved items from a supplier who Crepe De Licious has not approved, Crepe De Licious will consider any written request for approval. Crepe De Licious will notify the franchisee of approval or disapproval of any new item, service, or supplier within a reasonable time, usually within 90 days, after receiving all relevant information.
While a specific list of deadlines is not present, the FDD excerpt does state that Crepe De Licious may require the franchisee to use the intranet system for communications, reports, and other functions, and the franchisee will comply with their requirements. This suggests that there may be implicit deadlines associated with these required functions, although they are not explicitly detailed in this section.
Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical expectations and timeframes associated with manager responsibilities, including the use of the intranet system and any reporting requirements, to fully understand the obligations and deadlines involved in managing a Crepe De Licious franchise.
