What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bang Cookies's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee needs to replace their Operating Manager, the new manager must complete the initial training program to Bang Cookies's satisfaction. This training is conducted at facilities designated by Bang Cookies, currently a shop in Edison, New Jersey, and a certified training shop also in Edison, New Jersey.
The franchisee is responsible for paying a supplemental training fee for each replacement manager attending the initial training, which is currently $300 per manager per day. Additionally, the franchisee must cover all costs incurred by the replacement managers while attending the training, such as travel, lodging, and meals.
This requirement ensures that all Operating Managers, even replacements, are properly trained in Bang Cookies's standards and procedures. The costs associated with training a replacement manager, including the supplemental training fee and the manager's expenses, are the franchisee's responsibility, which should be factored into operational budgeting.
