Initial Training
We do not assist in the hiring of your employees, but we will train your Hotel Representative(s) virtually, at your Hotel, or at another location we designate, at our election. The initial brand training program covers the areas of operations, marketing, sales, loyalty, and brand
culture. We offer the training program on an as-needed basis throughout the year depending on our trainers' and attendees' availability.
Prior to opening your Hotel, or within 90 days of activating your Hotel in our system, your Hotel Representative(s) must complete our training program to our satisfaction. If at any time during the term of your Franchise Agreement your trained Hotel Representative is no longer employed by you, a new Hotel Representative will be required to attend and complete our training program to our satisfaction. If we determine that your Hotel Representative cannot complete initial training to our satisfaction, we may terminate the Franchise Agreement. If space permits, we may allow you to send additional attendee(s) to the initial brand training. Any individual attending our training program who has not signed the Franchise Agreement or Guaranty may be required to sign a confidentiality agreement. You will pay us a fee in the amount of $1,500 for the initial brand training. In the event the initial brand training is conducted in-person rather than virtually, you must also reimburse us for our personnel's travel, meals, and lodging expenses, which we estimate to be up to $2,500.
You (or your Principal) may request additional training at the end of the initial training program, to be provided at our then current fees as outlined, if your Hotel Representative does not feel sufficiently trained in the operation of an ABVI Hotel. We and you will jointly determine the duration of this additional training.

This training covers operations, marketing, sales, loyalty, and brand culture. The training program is offered as needed throughout the year, depending on the availability of trainers and attendees.
Americas Best Value Inn requires that the Hotel Representative complete the training program to their satisfaction either before the hotel opens or within 90 days of the hotel's activation in their system. If a trained Hotel Representative leaves the franchisee's employment, a new representative must attend and complete the training. Failure of the Hotel Representative to complete the initial training to Americas Best Value Inn's satisfaction may result in the termination of the Franchise Agreement.
The initial brand training fee is $1,500. If the training is conducted in person rather than virtually, the franchisee must also reimburse Americas Best Value Inn for their personnel's travel, meals, and lodging expenses, estimated to be up to $2,500. Franchisees may request additional training at their current fees if the Hotel Representative does not feel adequately trained after the initial program, with the duration of this additional training jointly determined by Americas Best Value Inn and the franchisee.
