We may also choose to hold refresher training courses, and we may designate that attendance at refresher training is mandatory for you, your Operating Principal, General Manager and/or other personnel. We do not anticipate charging a fee for refresher training, but you will pay for all of the expenses incurred by your trainees, including travel, lodging, meals and wages. We anticipate that any refresher or additional training will not last longer than five days in any calendar year.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for covering all expenses associated with trainees attending refresher training courses. These expenses include travel, lodging, meals, and wages for the trainees. Bb.Q Chicken does not anticipate charging a fee for the refresher training itself.
This means that if Bb.Q Chicken mandates that a franchisee, their Operating Principal, General Manager, or other personnel attend refresher training, the franchisee must budget for and cover all associated costs. These refresher training courses will not last longer than five days in any calendar year.
This policy is fairly standard in the franchise industry, where franchisees typically bear the costs of ongoing training and development for their staff. Franchisees should factor in these potential costs when assessing the overall financial investment required to operate a Bb.Q Chicken franchise.
