What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beef O Bradys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must ensure that their managers, bartenders, and other designated employees obtain ServSafe Certification as required by local laws and regulations. The cost for this certification is $125 per person, or the then-current fee.
Beef O Bradys collects this fee on behalf of the franchisee and remits it to the local supplier. This means that franchisees do not directly manage the payment process to the ServSafe provider, but instead, Beef O Bradys handles the transaction.
It is important to note that the fee may change over time, so the franchisee should confirm the 'then-current fee' with Beef O Bradys. This ensures that the franchisee budgets accordingly for employee training and certification, maintaining compliance with health and safety standards.
