What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Afuri Ramen Dumpling's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated out-of-pocket expenses during training range from $6,000 to $10,000. These expenses are incurred during training and are paid to airlines, hotels, restaurants, and similar establishments. These costs cover expenses for one or two franchisee owners, the General Manager, Kitchen Manager, Bar Manager, and Commissary Manager.
These out-of-pocket expenses are separate from the initial franchise fee, which covers the cost of the training program itself. The franchisee is responsible for covering the costs of transportation, meals, and lodging during the training period. Afuri Ramen Dumpling will not cover initial training expenses for subsequent franchises beyond the first one.
Prospective franchisees should factor these costs into their initial investment calculations. It is important to note that these are estimates, and actual costs may vary depending on factors such as travel arrangements, accommodation choices, and dining preferences. Franchisees should also consider the number of personnel attending the training, as the estimate is based on specific attendees.
