What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hck Hot Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the pre-opening inspection of your restaurant may be conducted virtually via video conference at Hck Hot Chicken's discretion. This inspection typically occurs approximately two weeks before the restaurant's scheduled opening.
This means that Hck Hot Chicken has the option, but not the obligation, to perform the pre-opening inspection remotely. The franchisee should be prepared for either a virtual or in-person inspection. The purpose of this inspection is to ensure that the restaurant meets Hck Hot Chicken's standards before it opens to the public.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that the FDD grants Hck Hot Chicken the discretion to decide whether the inspection is virtual or in-person. Franchisees should inquire about the typical circumstances under which Hck Hot Chicken chooses one method over the other to better prepare for the pre-opening phase.
