What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dq Treat does not provide any training or assistance related to the California Fast Food Act. The FDD specifies that Dq Treat does not offer training or assistance, nor does it charge any initial or ongoing fees, related to the development or implementation of any standards, policies, or procedures that may be required under the Fast Food Act. These standards may relate to employees' health, safety, and employment, including minimum wages, working hours, and working conditions.
This means that it is solely the franchisee's responsibility to determine if the California Fast Food Act applies to their Dq Treat franchise. If the Act is applicable, the franchisee is responsible for complying with it when developing and constructing their restaurant, operating their franchise, and training and supervising their employees.
The FDD also notes that the estimate for additional funds takes into account any increased costs that a franchisee may incur related to complying with the Fast Food Act, such as increased wages, based on the standards in effect as of the issuance date of the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. Therefore, prospective franchisees in California should carefully consider the potential costs associated with complying with the Fast Food Act and factor those costs into their financial projections.
