What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are several circumstances under which Amorino may require additional training for franchisees and their personnel. Amorino may require additional training based on a franchisee's performance under the Franchise Agreement. This additional training could involve courses, seminars, or other training programs.
Specifically, Amorino can mandate that the Supervising Principal, Manager, or other designated employees attend these programs. The franchisee is responsible for paying Amorino a reasonable cost for providing the additional training, which is currently up to $400 per day, as well as covering all related expenses such as salary, travel, lodging, and dining costs for those attending the training.
Additionally, if a franchisee operates more than one Amorino store, or if the Supervising Principal cannot devote full-time efforts to managing the store, a Manager must be appointed. This Manager must also complete Amorino's initial training and any other additional training that Amorino may require. Furthermore, Amorino may introduce new products or services and conduct training sessions related to these offerings, which the Supervising Principal and Manager are required to attend. While these sessions are provided free of charge, the franchisee is responsible for covering travel, dining, and related expenses for their personnel.
