What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for all incidental expenses incurred while attending additional training programs, the national business meeting, or the annual convention. These expenses include, but are not limited to, the costs of travel, lodging, meals, and wages for the franchisee and their personnel.
Baya Bar also reserves the right to impose a reasonable fee for all additional training programs. If a franchisee fails to attend and/or complete mandatory additional training or fails to attend the national business meeting or annual convention, it is considered a default of the Franchise Agreement. In such cases, the franchisee or their principals will be required to obtain any missed mandatory additional training at a location designated by Baya Bar.
The franchisee is responsible for paying all costs and expenses for such additional training, including tuition at the then-current rate, transportation, meals, and lodging for both the franchisee/principal and Baya Bar's training personnel. Furthermore, the franchisee must reimburse Baya Bar for any expenses incurred by their training personnel within ten days of billing.
