What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Desi District will provide franchisees with suggested staffing levels. Specifically, Item 11 states that Desi District will assist with hiring and training employees by providing suggested staffing levels in Section 5.2 of the FDD. They will also provide suggested guidelines for hiring employees, and operational instructions in the Brand Standards Manual which can be used as part of training new employees.
However, the FDD also makes it clear that all hiring decisions and conditions of employment are the sole responsibility of the franchisee. This means that while Desi District offers guidance, the franchisee ultimately decides on the number of employees to hire and manages all aspects of their employment.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Section 5.2 of the FDD and the Brand Standards Manual to understand Desi District's recommendations for staffing levels. They should also consider their local market conditions, sales projections, and operating hours when making their own staffing decisions. It is important to note that the Brand Standards Manual contains a section on personnel, comprising 48 pages, which may provide further guidance.
