What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally responsible for travel expenses associated with on-site training. Specifically, Angry Chickz will provide up to 5 days of on-site training immediately before and after the restaurant opens to the public, without charging a training fee for these initial days for the first two restaurants. However, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Angry Chickz for their travel expenses during this period. If Angry Chickz determines that more than 5 days of on-site training is necessary, the franchisee must also pay the then-current training fees in addition to covering the travel expenses.
For additional training programs or conventions that Angry Chickz may offer, attendance may require payment of an additional fee. If a franchisee requests additional assistance and advice to help run their restaurant, they must reimburse Angry Chickz's expenses and pay their then-current training charges and travel expenses.
In the context of the Initial Training Program, if Angry Chickz provides training to additional people beyond the first Operating Principal, Restaurant Leader, and trainer, or in connection with a Successor Franchise Agreement, or for the franchisee's third or subsequent restaurants, the franchisee is responsible for paying the then-current training fees. They must also reimburse Angry Chickz for costs and expenses related to travel, including airfare, hotel/lodging, local transportation, meals, and a per diem charge for incidental expenses like laundry and telephone expenses for Angry Chickz's employees, agents, and/or representatives.
