What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a rescheduling/training fee may be required under specific circumstances related to initial training. If a franchisee, their Operating Principal, or any other person attending the initial training fails to demonstrate competence in the pre-training material, and the initial training subsequently needs to be rescheduled, Angry Chickz may impose a training fee.
The training fee for rescheduling is $5,000 per person. This fee is payable upon demand by Angry Chickz and is explicitly stated as non-refundable under any circumstances. This means that if a trainee does not adequately prepare for the initial training, leading to a reschedule, the franchisee will incur this additional cost for each person requiring the rescheduled training.
This policy highlights the importance of thorough preparation before attending the initial training program. Franchisees should ensure that they and their staff are well-versed in all pre-training materials to avoid the potential financial burden of this rescheduling fee. It is a fairly common practice in franchising to charge for additional training or rescheduling of training, as the franchisor incurs additional costs in providing that training.
