Currently we do not offer, but may in the future offer, area representative rights to certain individuals and companies through a separate Franchise Disclosure Document as a separate line of business. An "Area Representative" acts as our representative within a defined geographic area to solicit prospective franchises and to provide support before, during and after a franchisee begins operations. If your Restaurant is in an area with an Area Representative, they will assist us in providing certain support functions to you. Area Representatives are not management service organizations and will not provide any administrative staff and services to you.
