2. The applicant shall engage in business activities under a unified business model as stipulated in the contract. To join a restaurant chain, the applicant should pay attention to several legal issues:

(1) What are the permitted contents of the franchise contract? Such as trademarks, trade names, products, patents and proprietary technologies, business models, and unauthorized projects, the applicant has no right to use them.

(2) whether the franchise contract is limited by the authorized area and mode, and whether the secondary franchise, regional development franchise and agency franchise are allowed. For the franchise chain stores that operate well after applying to join, when they want to expand their scale, please pay attention to the authorization of the franchise contract signed before, and change the franchise contract with the catering chain enterprises in a timely manner according to different situations.

(3) Who claims the rights when the trademark, trade name, patent and know-how of restaurant chain enterprises are infringed? It should be stipulated in the contract. That is, whether the chain stores have the right to claim tort compensation.

(4) whether the franchise stores have agreed on the liability for compensation if they violate the obligation to keep the proprietary technology of the catering chain enterprises confidential as stipulated in the franchise contract.
