What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company may extend the standard training period if it deems additional training necessary for satisfactory completion of the course. This decision is at B Bops's discretion. The training course must be completed to the satisfaction of B Bops by the person responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of the franchise.
If B Bops determines during the training course that the proposed manager is not qualified, they will notify the franchisee. The franchisee then has the opportunity to select and enroll a substitute manager in the training course. This ensures that the manager is adequately prepared to run the B Bops restaurant according to the company's standards.
This clause protects B Bops's brand standards by ensuring that all franchisees and their managers are properly trained. For a prospective franchisee, this means they should be prepared for the possibility of a longer training period if B Bops feels it's necessary. They should also have a backup plan in case their initial manager doesn't meet B Bops's standards during training.
