What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for all expenses related to the training of their store's employees. This includes the initial training program that the Supervising Principal or Manager must attend, as well as any additional training programs that Amorino may require.
For the initial training program in Paris, France, Amorino covers the costs of the training instructors, facilities, and materials. However, the franchisee must cover all other costs, including salaries, travel, lodging, and dining for their employees attending the training. Similarly, for additional training sessions related to new products or services, Amorino provides the training sessions free of charge, but the franchisee is responsible for the travel, dining, and related expenses for their Supervising Principal and Manager.
Furthermore, if Amorino requires the Supervising Principal, Manager, or other designated employees to attend additional courses, seminars, or training programs, the franchisee must pay Amorino for the reasonable cost of providing the training (currently up to $400 per day) and cover all related costs and expenses, including salaries, travel, lodging, and dining for those attending. This comprehensive allocation of training expenses to the franchisee is a significant factor to consider when evaluating the overall cost of investing in an Amorino franchise.
