Bb_Q_Chicken Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
ating according to your minimum performance schedule.
Training: No later than 30 days before the date the Franchised Business begins operation, two trainees (one of whom must be you, your Operating Principal or your General Manager) must have completed, to our satisfaction, the first round of our initial training program. We will conduct this training at our corporate headquarters, at one of the Restaurants in the vicinity of Fort Lee, New Jersey, or at another location we designate. The first round of our initial training program lasts for five days (four nights). Initial training programs will be offered at various times during the year depending on the number of new franchisees entering the System, replacement general managers and other personnel needing training, the number of new Franchised Businesses being opened and the timing of the scheduled openings of Franchised Businesses.
We will provide instructors and training materials for two trainees. You may also have additional personnel attend this first round of training, at your expense. We will determine whether your trainees have satisfactorily completed initial training. If you, your Operating Principal or the General Manager do not satisfactorily complete the initial training program or if we determine that these persons cannot satisfactorily complete the training program, you must designate a replacement to satisfactorily complete the training before you will be permitted to open your Franchised Business. If the replacement Operating Principal or General Manager cannot complete the initial training program to our satisfaction, we have the right to terminate your Franchise Agreement.
The instructional materials used in the initial training program include our Manual, marketing and promotion materials, and any other materials that we believe will be beneficial to our franchisees in the training process.
Any General Manager subsequently designated by you must also receive and complete the initial training program to our satisfaction, even if this requires sending that manager to our headquarters training program, at your expense. We have the right to charge a reasonable fee for this training. The training schedule is as follows:

This training will generally be conducted within two weeks prior to the transfer of the Franchised Business to you, and two weeks after the transfer.
The entire training program is subject to change due to updates in materials, methods, manuals and personnel without notice to you. The subjects and time periods allocated to the subjects actually taught to a specific franchisee and its personnel may vary based on the individual needs and/or experience of those persons being trained.
We may choose to hold an annual meeting of our franchisees to provide additional training, introduce new products or changes to the System, or for other reasons. We may designate that attendance at an annual meeting is mandatory for you, your Operating Principal, your General Manager and/or other personnel. We do not anticipate charging a fee to attend the meeting, but you will pay for all of the expenses incurred by your attendees at the meeting, including travel, lodging, meals and wages.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bb.Q Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program is conducted at the company's corporate headquarters, at one of the Restaurants near Fort Lee, New Jersey, or at another location that Bb.Q Chicken designates. This initial training is a five-day (four-night) program that must be completed no later than 30 days before the Franchised Business begins operation. At least two trainees, including the franchisee, Operating Principal, or General Manager, must complete the training to Bb.Q Chicken's satisfaction.
Bb.Q Chicken also provides a second round of initial training, which is conducted on-site at the franchisee's location for two weeks. This on-site training provides opening assistance and training around the opening of the Franchised Business. If the franchisee requests additional days of on-site assistance, they must reimburse Bb.Q Chicken's costs for the extra days and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the representative. A per-person training fee will be charged for each individual participating in this additional training.
If a franchisee purchases an existing Bb.Q Chicken franchise, the on-site training may be conducted by the existing franchisee on Bb.Q Chicken's behalf. This training typically occurs within two weeks before and two weeks after the transfer of the Franchised Business. Bb.Q Chicken may also hold annual meetings and refresher training courses, with the location to be determined by Bb.Q Chicken. While there is no fee to attend these meetings or courses, the franchisee is responsible for all expenses incurred by their attendees, including travel, lodging, meals, and wages.
