We will provide additional assistance and training to you and your employees upon your request or as we deem necessary to instruct you and your employees with regard to new procedures or programs which we deem important to the operation of your Restaurant. We may also provide optional additional assistance for you and your employees. Such additional assistance may be held on a national or regional basis at locations that we choose. We may establish charges for the additional assistance (in addition to reimbursement for our Travel Expenses), and in addition to any charges we establish, you must pay all transportation costs, food, lodging and other similar costs that you and your employees incur in connection with attending any additional training.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee requests additional assistance or training, they will be responsible for covering certain expenses. Specifically, the franchisee must pay for all transportation costs, food, lodging, and other similar costs incurred by themselves and their employees while attending the additional training.
In addition to these direct costs, Angry Chickz may establish charges for the additional assistance itself, as well as require reimbursement for their travel expenses. The FDD specifies that the current cost for additional training includes a daily training fee plus travel expenses incurred by Angry Chickz.
This means that franchisees need to budget not only for the direct out-of-pocket costs of sending themselves or their employees to additional training but also for potential training fees and the franchisor's travel expenses. Franchisees should inquire about the typical costs associated with additional training to accurately forecast these potential expenses.
