What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, the Operating Principal and Restaurant Leader must complete the Initial Training Program not more than 90 days and not less than 30 days prior to the scheduled opening date of the Franchised Business to the public. This requirement ensures that these key personnel are adequately prepared and trained before the restaurant begins operations. The Initial Training Program is approximately 15 days for all attendees.
The FDD specifies that the franchisee may not open and operate the Franchised Business until the Operating Principal and the initial Restaurant Leader have completed the Initial Training Program to Angry Chickz's reasonable satisfaction. If the agreement relates to the franchisee's or its affiliates' third or subsequent Restaurant, the Trainer must train the manager in accordance with the Manual(s). Additionally, the franchisee must have successfully trained a number of employees reasonably necessary to operate the Franchised Business in accordance with the Manual(s).
This stipulation underscores the importance Angry Chickz places on proper training and preparation. By mandating that the Operating Principal and Restaurant Leader complete training within a specific timeframe before opening, Angry Chickz aims to maintain consistent standards and operational efficiency across all franchise locations. This requirement helps to mitigate potential issues that could arise from inadequate training or preparation, ensuring a smoother launch and ongoing operation of the franchise.
Furthermore, Angry Chickz may require persons selected to attend the Initial Training Program to show competency in the pre-training material prior to attending the Initial Training Program. Failure to show competency in the pre-training material may result in such person being prohibited from attending a scheduled Initial Training Program and require that person to attend a subsequent Initial Training Program. In addition to the cost of attending this subsequent Initial Training Program, the franchisee will pay an additional initial training fee of $5,000.00.
