What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training is provided before the store opens. The Supervising Principal or Manager must attend and complete the initial training program to Amorino's satisfaction. The first ten days of training take place at Amorino's headquarters in Paris, France.
Amorino covers the costs for the training instructors, facilities, and materials. However, the franchisee is responsible for all other costs, including salaries, travel, lodging, and dining for employees attending the training. If a franchisee signs an area development agreement, the ten-day initial training in Paris is only provided for the first location.
In addition to the initial training, Amorino provides on-site trainers for five consecutive days to assist with store organization and operations during the opening. The Supervising Principal and Manager must be on-site during this time. While this on-site training is provided at no additional charge, the franchisee must cover the trainers' travel, lodging, dining, and related expenses. Furthermore, Amorino will provide additional consultation and advice before the store opening regarding construction, design, furnishings, equipment, employees, purchasing, and inventory control.
