What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes 3 hours of on-the-job training for rotation. 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. The initial training program is held at a location determined by Aw, typically at a restaurant owned by an affiliate in Chicago. While Aw does not charge a fee for the initial training program for up to 2 people, franchisees are responsible for covering all compensation, travel, lodging, and other living expenses incurred by themselves and any managers attending the training.
Prospective franchisees should consider these training hours when evaluating the overall support and preparation provided by Aw. It is also important to factor in the costs associated with travel and accommodation for the training program, as these can add to the initial investment required to start the franchise. Additionally, franchisees should inquire about the possibility of additional training or support needed beyond the initial program to ensure they are fully equipped to manage their Aw franchise effectively.
