What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes 1 hour of on-the-job training for salads. This training takes place in Chicago, IL.
This is a relatively small amount of time dedicated to salad preparation compared to other areas like answering the phone and taking orders, which receive 10 hours of on-the-job training. This may indicate that Aw considers salad preparation to be a simpler task to learn, or it may be covered in more detail in the Operations Manual.
Prospective franchisees should consider the amount of training provided for each area of operation and assess whether it is sufficient for their needs and the needs of their staff. If additional training is needed, Aw does offer supplemental training programs for a fee, where the franchisee is responsible for travel and living expenses.
