What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must offer food items for sale on a 'to-go' basis. The document specifies that franchisees must offer all products and services that Crisp & Green designates, which includes a menu of food items sold for purchase and consumption at the premises, on a "to-go" basis.
This requirement ensures that Crisp & Green maintains a consistent brand offering across all franchise locations. By mandating the availability of 'to-go' options, Crisp & Green caters to customers who prefer to consume their meals off-site, increasing accessibility and convenience.
In addition to 'to-go' service, franchisees may also be approved to operate through delivery to a Crisp & Go Location. They must also sell food items for consumption off the premises, gift certificates and vouchers, apparel and accessories, catering and delivery services, and other goods and services that Crisp & Green specifies from time to time.
