What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, during the 5-day store opening assistance period, both the Supervising Principal and the Manager (if one is appointed) must be on-site. This on-site assistance is provided by Amorino trainers to help organize the store and direct operations during the opening.
This requirement ensures that key personnel are present to learn from the Amorino trainers and properly manage the store's initial operations. The Supervising Principal is the individual responsible for directly overseeing the store's daily activities, while the Manager is appointed if the Supervising Principal cannot devote full-time efforts or if the franchisee operates multiple Amorino stores.
While Amorino provides the trainers at no additional charge for their services, the franchisee is responsible for covering the trainers' travel, lodging, dining, and related expenses. This is a standard practice in franchising, where the franchisor provides expertise and training, but the franchisee bears the costs associated with bringing the trainers to their location.
