What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must use their legal name on all documents with employees and independent contractors. These documents include employment applications, time cards, paychecks, and employment and independent contractor agreements. The franchisee is explicitly prohibited from using Desi District's Marks on any of these documents.
The FDD does not explicitly state the consequences of violating this rule. However, it is implied that failure to comply with the franchise agreement could lead to a breach of contract.
