Abstract

The development of the Indonesian economy was followed by the development of legal forms of agreements. Nowadays many people start a business by buying a business system or what is known as a franchise which in Indonesian is called a franchise. Franchising comes from the word Wara which means more and Profit which means profit. Literally franchising means that franchising is a business that provides more profits. In addition, according to the Indonesian Franchise Association (AFI), what is meant by franchising is a system of distributing goods or services to end customers, where the owner (franchisor) gives rights to individuals or companies (franchisees) to carry out business with a brand, name, system, procedure and ways that have been determined beforehand in a certain period of time covering a certain area. Menantea is a tea beverage product that was founded in 2021. Menantea does not only sell tea drinks but also food in the form of chicken and potatoes. Menantea officially opened on April 10 2021.

In this case the author will discuss legal protection and legal remedies that can be taken by the Franchisee in the Menantea franchise agreement.
