Advisory Committee
Franchisor opinion is formally represented by the Advisory Committee, at present made up of Franchisors and Divisional Franchisors nominated and then voted in as representatives from different states and countries. The Advisory Committee normally meets every three months, with remote access for those who cannot come in person. In practice, Advisory Committee decisions usually become group policy.
The Advisory Committee also directs spending of the National Branding Fund, collected as a National Branding Fee from Franchisees.
