What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the affiliate location used for training is located at the Forest Avenue location in Staten Island, New York. Alternatively, training may occur at the franchisee's own location.
This means that new Baya Bar franchisees can expect to receive hands-on training at an existing affiliate store to learn the business model, marketing, operations, and customer interaction. The FDD specifies that classroom and on-the-job training hours vary by subject, with 'Managing the Operation' requiring the most time (24 hours each). Other topics such as 'Customer Interaction' involve less time (2 hours classroom, 5 hours on-the-job).
For prospective franchisees, this indicates that travel to Staten Island may be required for the initial training, unless training is conducted at their own location. It is important to confirm with Baya Bar the specific location and schedule for the training program to make necessary travel arrangements. The franchisee will be responsible for any travel and lodging costs incurred during training.
