What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Coffee and Menu Preparation training program consists of 8 hours of classroom training and 20 hours of on-the-job training. This portion of the training takes place in Dearborn, Michigan, or at another location determined by Azal Coffee.
This means that franchisees and their managers will need to travel to the designated training location, incurring travel and accommodation expenses. The franchisor retains the discretion to change the training location, so franchisees should confirm the location well in advance of the scheduled training.
The fact that Azal Coffee specifies the hours dedicated to each training subject allows prospective franchisees to assess the depth and focus of the training program. The combination of classroom and on-the-job training is a common approach in franchising, aiming to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Franchisees should inquire about the specific curriculum and materials used during the Coffee and Menu Preparation training to fully understand the content covered.
