What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino does not provide financial assistance for the costs associated with attending initial or additional training programs. Amorino shall provide and pay only for the training instructors, facilities, and materials. The franchisee is responsible for all other costs and expenses of complying with Amorino's training requirements, including salary, travel, lodging, and dining costs for all of their employees who participate in the training.
For the initial training program, the Supervising Principal or Manager must attend and complete the program to Amorino's satisfaction. The first ten days of the initial training program will take place at Amorino's Paris, France headquarters. If a franchisee is opening more than one Amorino store simultaneously, the Supervising Principal and a Manager for each location must attend the initial training.
Additionally, Amorino may require the Supervising Principal, Manager, or designated employees to attend additional training programs. The franchisee is responsible for paying Amorino for the reasonable cost of providing the additional training (currently up to $400 per day) and all related costs and expenses, including salary, travel, lodging, and dining costs for all individuals who participate in the training. This means that franchisees must budget not only for the direct training fees but also for all associated travel and accommodation expenses for themselves and their staff.
