What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific details regarding who determines the business hours for a Dryject franchise are not explicitly outlined in the provided excerpts. However, the FDD does state that the franchisee is responsible for operating the franchised business in full compliance with all System Standards, as modified from time to time. These System Standards are mandatory specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules that Dryject periodically prescribes for the development and operation of Dryject franchised businesses.
While the excerpts do not directly state who sets the business hours, it can be inferred that Dryject has the ability to regulate aspects of the franchised business through the System Standards. These standards apply uniformly to all similarly situated Dryject franchised businesses, suggesting that there may be some consistency in how the businesses operate. The franchisee must also operate according to the Operations Manual, which contains mandatory and suggested specifications, policies, methods, standards, operating procedures, and requirements prescribed by Dryject.
As the FDD excerpts do not explicitly state who determines the business hours for a Dryject franchise, it is important for a prospective franchisee to ask Dryject directly about the typical or required business hours, how much flexibility a franchisee has in setting their own hours, and whether these requirements are subject to change. This information would be crucial in assessing the time commitment and operational demands of the franchise.
