What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must designate an "Operating Partner" who meets specific criteria. This individual must be approved by Face Foundrie and own or have the right to own at least 20% of the franchisee's equity and voting rights, subject to terms acceptable to Face Foundrie. The Operating Partner must have the authority to make all operational decisions for the Facial Bar and must complete Face Foundrie's training program.
The Operating Partner is required to dedicate their full-time efforts to the Face Foundrie Facial Bar and cannot engage in other conflicting business activities without approval. Franchisees must provide Face Foundrie with any proposed agreements with the Operating Partner for review and approval. The Facial Bar must be supervised at all times by an Operating Partner who has completed the necessary training programs to Face Foundrie's satisfaction.
In addition to the Operating Partner, franchisees must also designate a Salon Manager at least 90 days before opening their Facial Bar. This Salon Manager must meet Face Foundrie's qualifications and supervise the Facial Bar's operations full-time, without managing any other Face Foundrie locations. The appointment of a Salon Manager does not relieve the Operating Partner of their supervisory responsibilities, and both the franchisee and Operating Partner remain responsible for the Salon Manager's performance. The names of the Operating Partner and Salon Manager must be provided to Face Foundrie in writing and kept current.
