What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beef O Bradys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the replacement manager's training material fee is $50, plus shipping costs. This fee is due at the time of training.
Beef O Bradys allows the operating partner and operating manager who completed the initial training to train replacement managers at their existing location or a designated approved training location, with the franchisor's approval. After the training is complete, Beef O Bradys must certify the completion of the training.
This fee covers the cost of the training materials themselves, but it's important to note that it does not include any wages, travel, or living expenses that may be incurred by the replacement manager during training. The franchisee is responsible for covering these additional costs. This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, where franchisees typically bear the expenses associated with training their personnel.
