Name of Business: Zuri Restaurant LLC
Location: Boca Raton, FL
Complying with Federal Regulations for Franchises
You have operated one of your property sites as a prototype for the Franchise Operation. The properties are all in upscale locations that support the Restaurant’s thematic Desert profile.
The new site was test-marketed using the Franchise concept and the patented dessert brand, “Brain Freeze,” that savory specially formulated dessert treat created by Sally.
The desert has become so popular that many customers have requested extra take-home orders. A substantial number of patrons have even asked if the dessert would ever be sold separately in markets. The dessert menu has a strong sales position in overall restaurant sales and generated a cash flow that supported the entire overhead of the test model.
Your company is now ready to launch the Franchise Operation, but you must first prepare the required support documents.
