What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, both the Supervising Principal and the Manager (if one is appointed) are required to be on-site during the initial five-day training period at the new Amorino store. This on-site assistance is provided by Amorino's trainers to help organize the store and direct operations during the opening.
This requirement ensures that the individuals directly responsible for the store's daily operations are present to receive hands-on guidance from Amorino’s trainers during the critical opening phase. The Supervising Principal is the individual Principal who owns a controlling interest in the Franchisee, if the franchisee is a Business Entity. The Supervising Principal has full control over day-to-day store management and operations. If the Supervising Principal will not devote full time efforts to the management and operation of the store, then a Manager must be appointed.
For a prospective franchisee, this means they or their designated manager must be fully available and engaged during the store's opening. While Amorino provides the trainers at no additional charge, the franchisee is responsible for covering the trainers' travel, lodging, dining, and related expenses. This on-site presence is crucial for learning Amorino's operational procedures and ensuring a smooth store launch. Franchisees opening multiple Amorino stores simultaneously must ensure a Supervising Principal and a Manager for each location attend the initial training.
