What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Monicals Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, no officer of the Monicals Pizza franchisor has any ownership or other interest in any supplier.
As a Monicals Pizza franchisee, you are required to purchase furniture, fixtures, equipment (including computer equipment), inventory, and signage as specified in the Monical's Pizza Confidential Operations Manual. These specifications include standards for appearance, quality, price, performance, and functionality, based on Monicals Pizza's experience and research. Monicals Pizza may communicate these standards directly to suppliers.
If a franchisee wants to use goods or services that have not been approved by Monicals Pizza, they must submit sufficient information, specifications, and samples for evaluation. The franchisee will bear the expenses of this evaluation. Monicals Pizza will then decide within a reasonable time (usually 30 days) whether to approve the goods, services, or supplier. The criteria for supplier approval include the supplier's ability to provide sufficient quantity of goods, the quality of goods or services at competitive prices, production and delivery capability, and dependability and general reputation.
