What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the current per diem rate for additional or refresher in-person training or assistance is $500 per trainer or operations employee. This fee is in addition to expenses incurred, such as travel, lodging, and meals.
For a prospective Alloy franchisee, this means that if you request additional training at your franchise location or at Alloy's training location, or if Alloy determines that you need additional training, you will be responsible for paying this per diem rate for each trainer provided. This cost is separate from the initial training fee for new employees.
It's important to note that this per diem rate is subject to change, as indicated in Item 6 of the FDD, which states that amounts given may be due to changes in market conditions, Alloy's cost of providing services, and future policy changes. The fee is due 15 days after billing.
This type of fee structure is fairly standard in the franchise industry, where franchisors often charge for ongoing support and training to ensure brand consistency and operational standards are maintained. Franchisees should factor in these potential costs when budgeting for their franchise.
