What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bb.Q Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, Bb.Q Chicken does not currently charge a fee for the initial training program. However, Bb.Q Chicken retains the right to charge a fee for this training in the future. Currently, no charge is made for up to two individuals to take the Initial Training Program prior to opening the Franchised Business.
However, even though Bb.Q Chicken does not charge a training fee, franchisees are responsible for covering all expenses for themselves and their trainees. These expenses include, but are not limited to, the costs of travel, lodging, meals, and wages. This means that while the training itself is currently free, franchisees must still budget for these significant out-of-pocket costs.
Bb.Q Chicken also reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for any initial training provided to any successor General Manager or other Franchised Business personnel. This implies that if there are changes in management or staff, additional training may incur a fee. Franchisees should factor in potential future training costs when planning their budget and operational expenses.
