What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beef O Bradys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering certain expenses related to the initial training program. Specifically, the franchisee must pay for the travel, lodging, and meal expenses incurred by their personnel, as well as the wages of the franchisee and their personnel during the training period. The exact amounts for these expenses are not specified and can vary based on factors such as the chosen third-party supplier and the distance to the training location.
In addition to these costs, if a franchisee chooses to send an additional trainee to the Beef's Operator Training Program beyond the one trainee included at no extra cost, they will incur the then-current training fee, which is currently $1,000 per trainee.
Furthermore, during the opening on-site assistance phase, Beef O Bradys franchisees are responsible for paying the wages of themselves and their employees, as well as the cost of all food and beverage products used. While Beef O Bradys covers the costs and expenses for their personnel if the Family Sports Pub opens on schedule, any delays to the opening date that have already been agreed upon will result in the franchisee being responsible for all additional expenses incurred by Beef O Bradys's personnel. If the franchisee requests additional on-site assistance, they must pay a fee of $250 per day per trainer, plus wages, hotel, travel, and meal expenses.
