What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two types of managers defined for a franchise: the Managing Owner and the Operating Manager.
The Managing Owner must participate full-time in the day-to-day operations of the Deck Medic franchised business. This indicates that Deck Medic expects an owner to be actively involved in running the business, not just an investor or absentee owner.
The Operating Manager is designated by the franchisee or the Managing Owner and is responsible for supervising and managing the daily operations of the Deck Medic business. To qualify as an Operating Manager, the individual must meet Deck Medic's minimum training and brand quality control standards, complete the training program, sign a Confidentiality Agreement, and agree in writing to take responsibility for the on-site management and supervision of the franchised business. This ensures that anyone in a management role is properly trained and committed to upholding Deck Medic's standards.
