What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee needs to replace their Operating Manager, the replacement Operating Manager must complete Bee Organized's initial training program to the franchisor's satisfaction. This training program is offered at Bee Organized's training facility in Overland Park, Kansas, at a certified training Bee Organized Business, or virtually, as designated by the franchisor.
The franchisee is responsible for paying a supplemental training fee for the replacement Operating Manager. As of the FDD date, this fee is $250 per manager per day for each replacement manager attending the initial training.
This requirement ensures that all Operating Managers are trained to meet Bee Organized's standards, which helps maintain consistency across all franchise locations. The franchisee needs to factor in the cost of this training when planning for potential staff turnover. The fact that training can be virtual may help reduce travel costs.
