What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes 2 hours of on-the-job training for boneless chicken preparation. This training takes place in Chicago, IL.
This on-the-job training is part of a more extensive program that covers various aspects of running an Aw franchise. While 2 hours may seem brief, it is focused specifically on the preparation of boneless chicken, with other topics receiving their own dedicated training time. The FDD specifies that current managers of affiliate-owned restaurants may assist in the on-the-job training.
Prospective franchisees should consider this in the context of the overall training program and assess whether it is sufficient for their needs. If additional training is desired, Aw may offer supplemental training programs for a fee, with the franchisee responsible for travel and living expenses. It is important to note that Aw can require franchisees or their managers to attend supplemental training, seminars, or programs during the franchise term.
While the FDD outlines the specific hours for boneless chicken training, franchisees should also inquire about the depth and scope of the training to ensure it meets their operational needs. Understanding the content covered during those 2 hours and the opportunity for further support will be crucial for successful franchise operations.
