When does the Beehive Homes franchisee receive training?

According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees receive training prior to opening their home for business. This training covers the practices, policies, and procedures necessary to operate the Beehive Homes location. The franchisee, or at least one of the franchisees if there are multiple, along with the resident manager, must complete a training program that lasts up to three days. The training takes place at a location designated by Beehive Homes, which may include the corporate office or an existing franchised location.

This pre-opening training is a crucial step for new Beehive Homes franchisees. It ensures that they, and their resident manager, are well-prepared to manage the day-to-day operations of the business. The training program's duration of up to three days suggests a focused and intensive introduction to the Beehive Homes system. The fact that the training location can vary, potentially including an existing franchise, offers a chance to learn from experienced operators and see the Beehive Homes model in action.

The franchisee is responsible for covering their own travel, lodging, and meal expenses, as well as those of their resident manager. Additional representatives can attend the training at the franchisee's expense, with Beehive Homes' prior consent. If the franchisee or resident manager fails to complete the training program satisfactorily, Beehive Homes has the right to terminate the franchise agreement. Alternatively, Beehive Homes may choose to provide additional on-site training at the franchisee's location, with the franchisee bearing all associated costs until Beehive Homes deems the staff capable of operating the home.

Beehive Homes also provides reasonable opening supervision to assist the franchisee in preparing for the home's opening. This includes help with engaging staff, training personnel in food preparation, marketing, inventory control, and promotional programs. The franchisee must notify Beehive Homes in writing at least four weeks before construction is completed to schedule representatives for the opening procedures. The actual opening date is determined through mutual agreement between Beehive Homes and the franchisee.
