What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the training program includes instruction on the POS system. Specifically, the training program allocates 24 hours of classroom training and 24 hours of on-the-job training to managing operations, which includes POS system training. This portion of the training takes place at Baya Bar's affiliate's Forest Avenue location in Staten Island, New York, or at the franchisee's location.
This means that prospective franchisees will receive specific instruction on how to use the POS system as part of their initial training. The FDD also mentions that the instructional materials used in the training program include materials related to the operation of the point-of-sale system.
Understanding how to use the POS system is crucial for managing sales, inventory, and customer orders efficiently. The training ensures that franchisees and their managers are proficient in using this technology from the outset. Furthermore, any general manager subsequently designated by the franchisee must also receive and complete the training program to Baya Bar's satisfaction, even if this requires sending that general manager to their headquarters or affiliates' location, at the franchisee's expense.
