What This Means (2024 FDD)
Based on the 2024 Crisp & Green Franchise Disclosure Document, if a General Manager or Approved Operator is unable to continue in their role, no longer qualifies, or ceases employment, the franchisee must replace them within 30 days. This replacement must commence training on the Crisp & Green system and attend Initial Training at a designated location that Crisp & Green specifies.
The franchisee is responsible for covering the per diem training fee, travel, living expenses, and wages for the replacement manager during training. The replacement General Manager or Approved Operator must meet the same qualifications as the original and is subject to Crisp & Green's approval.
If a Crisp & Green franchisee operates without an approved General Manager who has completed the required training programs, Crisp & Green may charge a fee of up to $1,500 per day. This highlights the importance Crisp & Green places on having qualified and trained managers in place to maintain brand standards and operational efficiency.
