In the event you are given notice of default as set forth in subparagraphs 13.A and B, and the default relates, in whole or in part, to your failure to meet any operational standards, we have the right to require as a condition of curing the default that you and your manager, at your expense, comply with the additional training requirements we prescribe. Any new manager you hire must comply with our training requirements within a reasonable time as we specify. Under no circumstances may you permit the management of the Facility's operation on a regular basis by a person who has not successfully completed to our reasonable satisfaction all applicable training we require.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any new manager hired must comply with Alloy's training requirements within a reasonable time frame, as specified by Alloy. It is the franchisee's responsibility to ensure that the manager completes all applicable training to Alloy's satisfaction and is not permitted to manage the facility on a regular basis until the training is successfully completed.
This requirement ensures that all managers are properly trained in Alloy's operational standards, which helps maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations. This protects the brand's reputation and ensures customers receive a consistent experience regardless of location.
For a prospective franchisee, this means they need to factor in the time and cost associated with training a new manager. While the FDD does not specify the exact length or cost of the training, it is important to discuss these details with Alloy during the due diligence process. Understanding the specifics of the training program will help in planning for staffing changes and ensuring continuous compliance with Alloy's standards.
Furthermore, if a franchisee receives a notice of default related to operational standards, Alloy has the right to require both the franchisee and their manager to undergo additional training at the franchisee's expense as a condition of curing the default. This highlights the importance of ongoing training and adherence to Alloy's operational guidelines to avoid potential defaults and additional costs.
