What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial on-site training is provided at no additional charge. Amorino provides on-site trainers for five consecutive days to assist with the store opening. This service concludes the initial training. The Supervising Principal and Manager must be on-site during this period. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering the trainers' travel, lodging, dining, and related expenses.
This means that while Amorino does not directly charge a fee for the trainers' time and expertise during the initial on-site training, franchisees must budget for and cover all associated travel and accommodation costs for the trainers. These costs can vary depending on the location of the franchise and the distance the trainers need to travel.
It is important to note that if a franchisee is opening multiple Amorino stores, Amorino has the discretion to determine whether on-site assistance is necessary for subsequent store openings beyond the first few. For franchisees signing an area development agreement, Amorino provides the on-site five-day training at the first, second, and third stores, but not for any additional stores. This could impact the overall costs associated with opening multiple locations, as the franchisee may need to provide training themselves or pay for additional support.
