What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beef O Bradys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the non-refundable training fee must be paid at least 90 days prior to the scheduled opening of the Family Sports Pub. This fee covers the initial training program provided by Beef O Bradys, as well as on-site training conducted by their representatives before the pub's opening.
The amount of the training fee varies depending on the number of Family Sports Pubs the franchisee owns and operates at the time of signing the Franchise Agreement. For the first pub, the training fee is $18,000. It decreases for subsequent pubs: $13,000 for the second, $11,000 for the third, $8,000 for the fourth, and $7,000 for the fifth and all subsequent pubs.
This payment schedule is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as it allows the franchisor to allocate resources for training and support in advance of the opening. The non-refundable nature of the fee means that franchisees should be certain of their commitment before making the payment. Prospective Beef O Bradys franchisees should factor this cost and payment deadline into their financial planning and opening timeline.
