What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for specific costs associated with the initial ten-day training program held in Paris, France. While Amorino covers the expenses for the training instructors, facilities, and materials, the franchisee must bear all other costs.
These franchisee-borne expenses include the salary, travel, lodging, and dining costs for all employees who participate in the training. This means that if the Supervising Principal, Manager, or any other employee attends the training, the franchisee is responsible for covering their travel to and from Paris, their accommodation during the ten-day period, their meals, and their regular salaries.
This can represent a significant investment for a new Amorino franchisee, as international travel and accommodation costs can be substantial. Prospective franchisees should factor these expenses into their initial investment calculations and consider the number of employees they plan to send for training to accurately estimate the total cost.
