Will Anago compensate franchisees for any work performed during the on-the-job training course?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees will not receive compensation for any work they perform during the on-the-job training course. This means that while franchisees are learning the practical aspects of the business, such as cleaning techniques or customer service, they will not be paid for their time.

This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, as the training period is considered an investment in the franchisee's future success. Franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel, lodging, personal expenses, and compensation for any attendees during the training. However, Anago does not charge tuition for the initial training program.

Prospective Anago franchisees should factor these uncompensated training hours into their initial financial planning. It's important to understand that while you're gaining valuable skills and knowledge, you won't be earning income during this period. This could impact your cash flow during the early stages of your franchise operation.
