What This Means (2025 FDD)
I am unable to provide the exact page number in the 2025 Hydrodog Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) that contains information about job responsibilities under the Administration section. The provided excerpts from the FDD do not contain a specific 'Administration' section or explicitly detail job responsibilities. However, the FDD excerpts do provide some information that is related.
Item 11.13 discusses management roles, stating that if the franchisee is an entity, a Designated Owner must be appointed to manage the HydroDog Business. This Designated Owner must hold at least a ten percent (10%) interest in the franchisee entity and is responsible for making all decisions and communicating with the franchisor. Under certain circumstances, a General Manager may be appointed to run the day-to-day operations, without needing an ownership interest.
To find the specific details on job responsibilities, a prospective Hydrodog franchisee should carefully review the Operations Manual mentioned in section 11.1, which contains mandatory and suggested specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules for operating a HydroDog Business. Additionally, they should ask the franchisor directly for clarification on where to find a comprehensive outline of job responsibilities within the FDD or related documents.
