Is a Dryject franchisee required to comply with revisions to the Dryject Manual?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to comply with revisions to the Dryject Manual. The FDD specifies that Dryject may periodically revise the contents of the Manual, and franchisees must comply with each new or changed standard. Franchisees also have a responsibility to ensure that their copy of the Manual is kept current at all times. In the event of any dispute, the master copies of the Manual maintained by Dryject at its principal office will be controlling.

This requirement is typical in franchising, as franchisors need to maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations. The Dryject Manual likely contains critical information about the Dryject System, standards, methods, policies, and procedures for operating the franchise.

For a prospective Dryject franchisee, this means staying informed about updates to the Manual and implementing them promptly. Failure to comply with revisions could result in a breach of the franchise agreement and potential penalties. Franchisees should establish a system for regularly checking for updates and training staff on any changes. The franchisee must also treat the manual as confidential and not make it available to any unauthorized person.
