What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for covering all hotel and travel costs associated with on-site training. This means that if Alloy determines on-site training is necessary, or if the franchisee requests it, the franchisee must pay for Alloy's hotel and travel expenses in addition to a daily on-site training fee.
This could potentially add a significant expense for the franchisee, especially if the training requires multiple days or if travel costs are high. It's important to factor in these potential costs when budgeting for the franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the typical duration and location of on-site training to estimate potential hotel and travel expenses.
In addition to on-site training, Alloy may also require the franchisee, their manager, and other key employees to attend ongoing training sessions. These sessions may take place at Alloy's training facility, the franchisee's facility, or another designated location. The franchisee is responsible for covering the expenses associated with attending these ongoing training sessions as well. This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, as it ensures that franchisees and their staff stay up-to-date on the latest techniques and standards.
