Franchise Agreement

If both parties agree to move forward after Discovery Day, the prospective franchise partner executes the Franchise Agreement. This legally binding document formalizes the partnership and grants the approved franchise partner the rights to operate under the WingsUp! brand. The initial franchise fee is typically paid at this stage.
