What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be required to complete additional training before offering new authorized products from the franchise business. This requirement is at the discretion of Azal Coffee.
This means that if Azal Coffee introduces a new product or service that franchisees are permitted to offer, they might need to undergo further training to learn how to properly handle, market, or sell the new offering. The cost of this training is borne by the franchisee.
Azal Coffee may also specify that the franchisee's General Manager or other management employees attend the additional training. This ensures that the staff is adequately prepared to implement the new products or services effectively. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the frequency and costs associated with such additional training programs to factor these expenses into their business plan.
