What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Moe's Southwest Grill Franchise Disclosure Document, changes to the Standards or the Manuals will be communicated to franchisees in writing or electronically, as deemed appropriate by Moe's Southwest Grill. These changes are issued as Supplements to the Manuals. Franchisees are obligated to immediately adopt and use these Supplements, which become binding as if they were originally part of the Manuals.
It is the franchisee's responsibility to actively monitor for these Supplements and maintain an up-to-date copy of the Manuals at their franchised business. In case of any dispute regarding compliance with the Manuals, the master copy maintained by Moe's Southwest Grill will take precedence. All references to the Manuals include any and all Supplements.
Prospective franchisees should understand that these changes to the Standards or Manuals may require additional capital investment in the franchised business and/or lead to higher operating costs. This means franchisees need to be prepared for potential expenses related to implementing new programs, purchasing new equipment or supplies, or paying additional fees as a result of these changes. Franchisees must stay informed of updates to remain compliant with Moe's Southwest Grill's operating standards.
