What training requirements must an Azal Coffee franchisee satisfy to be eligible for renewal?

According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, to be eligible for renewal, a franchisee must satisfy any current training requirements for new or existing franchisees. This implies that Azal Coffee may mandate additional training programs or updates to existing training, and franchisees must comply with these to qualify for renewal.

Azal Coffee may also require a Designated Owner, General Manager, or other management employees to attend additional training, sales programs, and meetings. The franchisee bears the expense for this additional training, including travel, lodging, and wages for their employees. These additional training programs could also be required before offering new authorized products from the franchise.

Failure to attend required additional training without consent from Azal Coffee may result in liquidated damages. Furthermore, if Azal Coffee determines that a franchisee's management staff needs additional training after the initial opening assistance, the franchisee is responsible for covering these additional training costs. Non-compliance with these training requirements could potentially lead to termination of the Franchise Agreement.
