You will develop and operate Restaurants within a defined geographic area (“Territory”). You will use our various trademarks, construction specifications, designs, color schemes, signs and equipment for Restaurant premises, procedures and recipes for preparing food and beverage products, inventory, operations, and financial control methods, initial and ongoing management training and teaching techniques, and advertising and promotional services and assistance. Each franchise arrangement consists of two parts: a development agreement (“Development Agreement”) which requires you to open and operate at least one Restaurant pursuant to an initial development schedule and during the remaining term of the Development Agreement, and allows you to open and operate more Restaurants in the Territory, if needed; and separate franchise agreements (“Franchise Agreement(s)”) between you and us for your operation of each Restaurant. The Franchise Agreement names the location of the Restaurant and tells you your rights and obligations for that Restaurant. The Development Agreement and each Franchise Agreement will be between you and us, and if you are a corporation, all or some of your shareholders; and if you are a partnership, some or all your partners. Those people who sign as your shareholders or partners and who guarantee your financial obligations to us under a Development Agreement and Franchise Agreement are “Principal Shareholders.” Although the Agreements attached as Exhibits E and F assume that you are a corporate franchisee, we do consider other types of business entities (for example, general or limited partnerships and limited liability companies) which meet the requirements for franchisees described in the Agreements. In those cases, you must execute amendments to the Development Agreement and Franchise Agreement that conform those Agreements to your form of business structure. A sample form amendment is attached to the Development Agreement included as Exhibit E to the Disclosure Document and a sample form amendment is attached to the Franchise Agreement included as Exhibit F to this Disclosure Document. We intend to use and file, if and as appropriate, a separate franchise disclosure document to offer franchises for Applebee’s full-service Restaurants and new Applebee’s concepts for fast-casual and/or quickservice Restaurants to be located at another primary business or in conjunction with other businesses or at institutional settings such as schools, colleges and universities, military and other governmental facilities, hospitals, airports, travel plazas, casinos, stadiums, and any other site, venue or location operated by a master concessionaire or contract food service provider (a “Non-Traditional Venue”). The terms of such an offering may differ materially from the terms described in this Disclosure Document.
