What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Benihana's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the classroom training for Standard Equipment, Tools, and Utensils is conducted at Benihana's office in Aventura, Florida. This training segment is allocated 2 hours of classroom instruction.
This means that franchisees or their designated staff will need to travel to Aventura, FL to receive this specific training. This detail is important for prospective franchisees to consider, as it will incur travel and accommodation expenses in addition to the franchise fees.
It is also important to note that Benihana retains the right to modify the pre-opening training program, including the location of training, and the subjects and time periods allocated to the subjects actually taught to a specific franchisee and its personnel may vary based on the experience or needs of those persons being trained.
