What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Antioch Pizza Shop's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes a classroom component for Culture/Business Philosophy but does not offer on-the-job training for this subject. The training takes place in Antioch, IL, or another designated location.
The training program includes 2 hours of classroom training for Culture/Business Philosophy. Other subjects such as Product Knowledge, Store Operating Procedures, Store Level Marketing, Community Outreach, Equipment Knowledge and Repair, Management, Customer Service, Time Management, and Financials also have 2 hours of classroom training each.
On-the-job training is provided for Operations, Management, Food Preparation, and the POS System, with a duration of 160 to 500 hours, and a 6-hour test. This on-the-job training also takes place in Antioch, IL, or another designated location. The absence of on-the-job training for Culture/Business Philosophy suggests that Antioch Pizza Shop prioritizes practical operational skills in its hands-on training approach.
