What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Hck Hot Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hck Hot Chicken has the power to dismantle the Intranet at any time without any resulting liability to the franchisee. The Intranet is a communication tool for franchisees to communicate with each other and with Hck Hot Chicken. It also serves as a means for Hck Hot Chicken to disseminate the HCK Hot Chicken Brand Standards Manual, updates, and other confidential information. Hck Hot Chicken retains full discretion and control over all aspects of the Intranet, including its content and functionality.

As a franchisee, this means that Hck Hot Chicken can discontinue the Intranet service, which could impact communication and access to important documents like the Brand Standards Manual. While the FDD states that Hck Hot Chicken may dismantle the Intranet at any time, it does not specify under what conditions or with what notice they would do so.

Prospective franchisees should consider the potential impact of the Intranet's removal on their operations and communication with Hck Hot Chicken. It would be prudent to inquire with Hck Hot Chicken about their long-term plans for the Intranet and any alternative communication methods they would provide if the Intranet were to be discontinued.
