What charges can SpeedLine impose on Beggars Pizza for additional training?

According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, SpeedLine reserves the right to charge Beggars Pizza for additional training in certain circumstances. Specifically, if SpeedLine is required to perform additional training for new or replacement personnel of the Customer, SpeedLine reserves the right to charge for the same at its then-current standard charge rate plus expenses. This means that if Beggars Pizza needs to train new employees or replace existing ones, SpeedLine may charge its standard training fees, along with any associated expenses.

This policy has a few important implications for prospective Beggars Pizza franchisees. First, franchisees should factor in potential training costs when budgeting for employee turnover. Second, it is important to clarify what SpeedLine's "then-current standard charge rate" is for additional training and what expenses are included. This will help franchisees anticipate and manage these costs effectively.

It is also important to note that the initial implementation and training costs are described in the Quote. Beggars Pizza agrees to pay the amounts set forth in the Quote for such implementation and training as well as SpeedLine's expenses reasonably and actually incurred in performing such implementation and training, which include, but without limitation, travel time for SpeedLine's personnel and SpeedLine's out-of-pocket expenses for travel, food and lodging of SpeedLine's personnel, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Quote. The implementation date and the training dates and schedule will be notified to the Customer, and where applicable, upon SpeedLine receiving the required deposits and/or the required equipment leasing company documentation.
