What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are explicitly prohibited from marketing the Program. The term 'Program' refers to the software or system used in the operation of the Floyds 99 shop.
Specifically, franchisees cannot sell, assign, lease, license, market, or commercially exploit the Program in any way. This restriction extends to any component of the Program or any data generated through its use. The franchisee is also barred from disclosing or granting access to the Program to any third party unless the franchisor provides written approval and the third party agrees to maintain the Program's confidentiality.
This policy ensures that Floyds 99 maintains control over its proprietary systems and data, preventing unauthorized use or distribution of its operational tools. A prospective franchisee should understand that they are only permitted to use the Program for their own Floyds 99 shop's operations and cannot derive any separate commercial benefit from it.
