Can the Marble Slab Creamery manager authorize agents to act on behalf of the company?

According to the 2025 Marble Slab Creamery Franchise Disclosure Document, the manager of a Marble Slab Creamery has specific authority related to the company's operations. The manager can employ or retain a manager for any Restaurant and confer upon such Restaurant manager such authority to manage the business.

This indicates that the Marble Slab Creamery manager's authority extends to managing the business and can be delegated to a restaurant manager. However, the FDD does not explicitly state that the manager can authorize agents to act on behalf of the company in all matters. The manager's authority appears to be focused on operational aspects and does not clearly extend to broader legal or financial representation of the company.

Prospective franchisees should seek clarification from Marble Slab Creamery regarding the scope of the manager's authority and whether it includes the ability to authorize agents for specific purposes. Understanding these limitations is crucial for franchisees to ensure they operate within the bounds of their authorized powers and do not overstep their responsibilities.
