What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee or their General Manager, along with one additional employee, are required to attend and complete the Initial Training Program. This means a maximum of two people must be trained before the Bb.Q Chicken location opens. This training must be completed to Bb.Q Chicken's satisfaction no later than 30 days before the store's opening date.
The Initial Training Program includes both classroom instruction and on-the-job training at Bb.Q Chicken's headquarters, an affiliate-owned store, or a franchised location. Bb.Q Chicken reserves the right to change the location of any part of the training program. Principals must complete the Initial Training Program and maintain that training throughout the term of the Franchise Agreement.
Bb.Q Chicken does not charge for the initial training of up to two people before the franchise opens. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering all expenses for the trainees, including travel, lodging, meals, and wages. If the Initial Training Program is not completed satisfactorily by the franchisee or the General Manager, Bb.Q Chicken has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement.
