What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bang Cookies' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wants more than two individuals to attend the initial training program, they must pay an additional initial training fee of $300 per person, subject to Bang Cookies' approval. This fee is due in advance of the training and upon submission of an invoice from Bang Cookies to the franchisee.
This means that if a franchisee wishes to send additional staff members to the initial training, they will incur extra costs. It is important to note that sending more than two individuals to the training is subject to Bang Cookies' approval, so it is not guaranteed that the franchisee will be able to send additional people even if they are willing to pay the fee.
Franchisees should factor this potential cost into their initial investment and operating budget. They should also communicate with Bang Cookies early in the process to determine if sending additional personnel to the initial training is feasible and to clarify any specific requirements or limitations.
