What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beef O Bradys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee bears the costs associated with training. Specifically, the franchisee is responsible for the travel, wages, and living expenses incurred by the Operating Partner, Operating Manager, and any optional third trainee during the initial 3-week training program. Beef O Bradys may also offer training to more than three individuals for a fee of $1,000 per additional trainee, with the franchisee covering all associated travel, wages, and living expenses.
For the opening of a second Family Sports Pub, Beef O Bradys will provide two trainers for five days during Training Week. In this case, Beef O Bradys covers the travel and lodging expenses for their trainers and two Designated Trainer Employees from the franchisee's existing location. However, during Opening Week, while Beef O Bradys covers the wages, per diem, and lodging for their trainer, the franchisee is responsible for the wages, per diem, and lodging of their Designated Trainer Employees and trainees/employees.
Additionally, if the franchisee delays the opening of the Family Sports Pub after an agreed-upon date, they will be responsible for any additional expenses resulting from the delay, such as change fees, increased airfare or hotel rates, and lost wages for trainers. Franchisees are also responsible for expenses related to food and beverage products used during the Opening On-Site Assistance. If additional training support is requested during the Opening On-Site Assistance, the franchisee will pay a fee of $250 per day per trainer and cover all travel, wage, and lodging expenses for the additional trainers.
For additional or refresher training programs, Beef O Bradys charges an Additional Training Fee of $250 per day (including travel days) per corporate trainer. The franchisee is responsible for providing all necessary items for the training at their Family Sports Pub and must also cover costs incurred for this additional training and support, including a meal per diem, travel, and hotel expenses. If new management personnel are hired or replacements are made for the Two Designated Operators, the franchisee must ensure these new employees are adequately trained and certified at an approved training store at their expense. Furthermore, the franchisee agrees to provide meals to Beef O Bradys' training personnel when the kitchen is operational during their visits, at no cost to Beef O Bradys.
