What is the Antioch Pizza Shop franchisee responsible for regarding employee training?

According to the 2025 Antioch Pizza Shop Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to attend refresher and additional training courses, and they are responsible for the costs of any materials and expenses related to these courses. The current fee for additional training is $500 per person per day, excluding travel and other expenses, which the franchisee must also cover. Antioch Pizza Shop retains the right to adjust these additional training fees at its discretion.

Prior to opening their restaurant, the franchisee and, if applicable, their manager must successfully complete Antioch Pizza Shop's initial training program. This training takes place at Antioch's Illinois location or another designated location and includes manuals, classroom instruction, and other required classes. The length of the initial training depends on the type of franchise purchased and the relevant experience of the attendees, as determined by Antioch Pizza Shop.

Around the time of the restaurant opening, Antioch Pizza Shop will send representatives to the franchisee's location for up to three weeks to provide on-site opening assistance and additional training. The timing and duration of this on-site support are determined by Antioch Pizza Shop. This means that while Antioch Pizza Shop provides initial and ongoing training, the franchisee bears the financial responsibility for additional training, including fees, materials, travel, and lodging.
