What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Operating Manager, who is responsible for supervising the day-to-day operations of the franchised business at the Administrative Office, must meet specific training and quality control standards. The Operating Manager must meet all of Deer Solution's minimum training and brand quality control standards and criteria for managers as outlined in the Operations Manual. They must also successfully complete Deer Solution's initial training program.
In addition to the training requirements, the Operating Manager must sign a Confidentiality Agreement and agree in writing to assume responsibility for the on-site management and supervision of the Deer Solution franchise. These stipulations ensure that the Operating Manager is not only adequately trained but also committed to upholding the brand's standards and protecting confidential information.
In the event of the death or permanent disability of a franchisee who is an individual (not a Corporate Entity), the executor or personal representative must appoint a manager that meets the equivalent of an Operating Manager within 30 days. This appointed manager must then serve, qualify as an Operating Manager, and successfully complete the Training Program within 60 days of their appointment. This ensures continuity of operations and adherence to Deer Solution's standards even in unforeseen circumstances.
