What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee requests additional training or support at their shop, or if Baya Bar believes remedial training is necessary due to an inspection or quality assurance audit, the franchisee must cover certain expenses for the trainer(s).
Specifically, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing each trainer's expenses, including travel, lodging, and meals. In addition to covering these direct expenses, the franchisee must also pay Baya Bar a per diem rate per trainer. The current per diem rate is $600.
This means that beyond the $600 per diem fee per trainer, a Baya Bar franchisee should budget for all travel-related costs (flights, transportation), accommodation, and food for each trainer sent to their location for additional onsite training. These costs can vary significantly depending on the distance the trainer must travel and the duration of the training, so it's important for prospective franchisees to factor in these potential expenses when considering the overall cost of running a Baya Bar franchise.
