Bambu Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The Training Program consists of approximately 88 hours over a combination of approximately 11 combined days of pre- and post-opening training and consultation, and seven days of opening training that will be scheduled to start after we have conducted a successful site review and pre-opening assessment. You must notify us when you have passed your Environmental Health Department Inspection, which typically takes place as the buildout of your Bambū shoppe nears completion or you have received other temporary rights to bring products and ingredients into the shoppe and are allowed to prepare food items, so we can schedule the opening training.
In addition to the opening training, and approximately two months prior to the estimated date of the opening training, you and one other designated Bambu Certified Team Leader must attend a two day preopening owner operations orientation and training program conducted at the Bambū shoppe located in Grand Prairie, Texas, or at an alternative location approved by us.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bambu Franchise Disclosure Document, the Training Program consists of approximately 88 hours. This is delivered over approximately 11 combined days of pre- and post-opening training and consultation, in addition to seven days of opening training. This schedule is set to begin after a successful site review and pre-opening assessment has been conducted by Bambu.
Prior to the opening training, about two months beforehand, the franchisee and one other designated Bambu Certified Team Leader must attend a two-day preopening owner operations orientation and training program. This preopening program is held at the Bambu shoppe located in Grand Prairie, Texas, or at an alternative location approved by Bambu.
Prospective franchisees should note that the training schedule is contingent upon several factors, including passing the Environmental Health Department Inspection. Franchisees are responsible for all travel, lodging, meal expenses, and wages incurred by themselves and their employees while attending the Training Program. Training participants will not receive any compensation from Bambu during the training period.
