According to the agreement, what constitutes a 'Restaurant' for a Crisp & Green franchise?

According to the 2024 Crisp & Green Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Restaurant' is defined as a Crisp & Green restaurant that the company or its affiliates own, operate, or franchise. These restaurants must use the Crisp & Green Marks and System. The System includes the brand's business methods, building designs, equipment, recipes, preparation methods, inventory control, marketing, and operating standards. Crisp & Green retains the right to modify the System at any time.

This definition is important for prospective franchisees because it clarifies what they are expected to operate if they invest in a Crisp & Green franchise. The franchisee must adhere to the brand's established System and use the approved Marks. Any deviation from the System could be a breach of the franchise agreement.

Furthermore, the definition emphasizes Crisp & Green's control over the brand and its standards. The company can modify the System, which means franchisees must stay updated with any changes to maintain uniformity across all locations. This ensures that all Crisp & Green restaurants, whether company-owned or franchised, offer a consistent experience to customers.
