What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for operating their franchised business in full compliance with all System Standards, which may be modified periodically. These System Standards include mandatory specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules prescribed by Dryject for the development and operation of its franchised businesses. All references to System Standards include any modifications, deletions, and/or additions authorized by the Franchise Agreement or the Operations Manual.
These System Standards may regulate any aspect of the operation and maintenance of Dryject franchised businesses, provided that all System Standards apply uniformly to all similarly situated Dryject franchised businesses. The Operations Manual contains mandatory and suggested specifications, policies, methods, standards, operating procedures, and requirements prescribed by Dryject, as well as information relative to other franchisee obligations and the operation of the Franchised Business.
Dryject emphasizes that these System Standards are designed to protect its interests in the System and Marks, rather than to establish control over matters reserved to the franchisee. The Operations Manual will also include guidelines or recommendations in addition to required System Standards. Because complete uniformity under varying conditions may be impossible or impractical, Dryject reserves the right to vary the standards of eligibility, including financial terms and conditions, for any franchisee based upon the peculiarities of a particular territory.
