What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee operates more than one Amorino store, or if the Supervising Principal will not devote full time efforts to the management and operation of the store, they must appoint an individual to serve as the Manager. This Manager must be approved in advance by Amorino. The Manager must complete Amorino's initial training to their satisfaction, as well as any other additional training that Amorino may require.
The Amorino Manager is required to have full control over, and devote their full-time efforts to, the day-to-day management and operation of the store. The Manager cannot engage in any other business or activity that requires substantial management responsibility or time commitment. If the Manager ceases to serve in, or no longer qualifies for, such position, the franchisee must designate another qualified person to serve as the Manager within 30 days after the date the prior Manager ceases to serve or no longer qualifies to serve.
Any proposed replacement Manager must be approved in advance by Amorino and must complete to Amorino's satisfaction their initial training and any other additional training that they may require. Prior to opening the store for business, the Manager must attend and complete to Amorino's satisfaction their initial training program. The first ten days of the initial training program will take place at Amorino's Paris, France headquarters.
Amorino will provide and pay only for the training instructors, facilities, and materials. The franchisee will be 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. Amorino will provide the services of on-site trainers to assist on-site for five consecutive days, which shall conclude the initial training. The Manager must be on-site during this period of time. This training will be at no additional charge, but the franchisee will be required to make arrangements and pay for the trainers' travel, lodging, dining, and related expenses.
