What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for hiring, firing, compensating, and supervising their employees. However, the FDD states that the Ledgers Manual may recommend best practices on how to hire and train employees.
While Ledgers does not provide direct assistance in hiring and training, the Operations Manual offers guidance. The franchisee is responsible for all employment-related tasks, including payroll taxes and day-to-day supervision.
Prospective franchisees should review the Operations Manual carefully to understand the specific recommendations Ledgers provides for hiring and training. This will help them effectively manage their staff and ensure compliance with Ledgers' standards. Franchisees should also inquire about the specific content of the manual during their due diligence.
