After the Required Opening Date, does Southern Steer provide on-site assistance to franchisees?

According to the 2025 Southern Steer Franchise Disclosure Document, Southern Steer does provide on-site assistance to franchisees after the Required Opening Date. The document states that the continuing services provided by Southern Steer will include providing on-site assistance as described in Section 10.4.

Section 10.4 outlines that Southern Steer will provide on-site opening assistance for up to 10 days to help the franchisee implement the Southern Steer system at their business. This assistance is provided in accordance with the Brand Manual and generally takes place prior to and during the franchisee's grand opening.
