What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the availability of training programs for replacement or additional Bambū Certified Team Leaders is subject to certain limitations. Specifically, access to these programs depends on space considerations, the availability of training staff, and Bambu's prior commitments to training new franchisees.
This means that a franchisee might face delays or difficulties in getting their team members trained if Bambu's training facilities are full, if there aren't enough trainers available, or if other new franchisees have already booked the training slots. This could potentially impact the franchisee's ability to maintain fully trained staff, which Bambu requires for the supervision and management of the Bambū shoppe.
Bambu also reserves the right to charge a tuition or fee for such training, commensurate with their current published prices, and the franchisee is responsible for all travel, lodging, and meal expenses incurred by their personnel during the training program. Therefore, franchisees need to factor in these potential costs and availability constraints when planning for staff training and replacements.
