What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Better Blend may charge a fee for training programs an employee attends after the Better Blend location has opened. The FDD states that Better Blend may charge its then-current training fee if a franchisee sends an employee to the training program after opening their location. As of the date of the Franchise Agreement, the training fee is $250 per person per day.
This means that if a Better Blend franchisee needs to train a new employee or provide additional training to an existing employee after the location is open, they may incur a cost of $250 per person per day for the training. This fee covers the cost of the training program itself and is separate from any travel, lodging, or other expenses the franchisee or employee may incur while attending the training.
Franchisees should factor in these potential post-opening training costs when budgeting for ongoing employee training and development. It is important to stay updated on the current training fee, as Better Blend may adjust this fee over time. Understanding these costs will help franchisees manage their expenses and ensure their staff is adequately trained to meet Better Blend's standards.
