What training must the employee who is present at the Augusta Lawn Care Business have completed?

According to Augusta Lawn Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, while a franchisee is not required to devote a minimum number of hours to managing their Augusta Lawn Care business, any other employee present at the business must have successfully completed Augusta Lawn Care's initial training program. This requirement ensures that someone with the appropriate knowledge is always on-site when the business is open.

The initial training program covers the operation of the Augusta Lawn Care business under the Augusta Lawn Care system. This training is mandatory for the Operating Principal and manager (if any) if the franchisee is a legal entity, or for the franchisee and their manager (if any) if the franchisee is an individual. The franchisee, Operating Principal, or manager must complete this training to Augusta Lawn Care's satisfaction before the business can open.

This requirement ensures that all Augusta Lawn Care locations maintain a consistent level of service and uphold brand standards. It also protects the goodwill associated with the Augusta Lawn Care system and marks. Franchisees should ensure that all employees who may be present at the business complete the initial training to avoid any potential compliance issues or breaches of the franchise agreement.
