What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for ensuring that the resident manager completes the required training program. Specifically, the franchisee and the resident manager are required to complete a training program of up to three days. The franchisee is also responsible for covering the costs of travel, lodging, and meals for both themselves and their resident manager during the training.
If the franchisee or the resident manager does not complete the training program to Beehive Homes' satisfaction, Beehive Homes has the option to terminate the Franchise Agreement. Alternatively, Beehive Homes can choose to send additional personnel to train the franchisee's staff at the location of the Beehive Homes facility. In this case, the franchisee will be responsible for covering all costs associated with the additional personnel, including salaries, lodging, meals, and transportation. These additional personnel will remain at the facility until Beehive Homes determines that the franchisee and their staff are capable of operating the facility effectively.
This arrangement places the onus on the franchisee to ensure both they and their resident manager are adequately trained. The potential consequences of failing to complete the training, such as termination of the agreement or incurring additional costs for on-site training, highlight the importance of fulfilling this requirement. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, where franchisees are expected to invest in training to maintain brand standards and operational effectiveness.
