What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program for franchisees takes place in two locations. The first ten days of training are held at Amorino's headquarters in Paris, France. Following the initial training in Paris, on-site trainers will assist the franchisee for five consecutive days at their store to conclude the initial training.
Amorino is responsible for covering the costs of the training instructors, facilities, and materials. However, the franchisee is responsible for all other expenses associated with the training, including salaries, travel, lodging, and dining costs for their employees who attend the training.
For franchisees who sign an area development agreement, Amorino provides the ten-day initial training in Paris only for the first location. Additionally, the five-day on-site training is provided at the first, second, and third stores, but not for any subsequent stores. This means that area developers will need to handle the training for managers of additional stores themselves after opening enough stores to receive a discount of greater than 50% on the initial franchise fees, making them an "Experienced Amorino Store Operator."
