What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Better Blend Franchise Disclosure Document, Better Blend has the right to mandate that franchisees provide training programs to their employees.
Specifically, Better Blend may require the franchisee to provide training programs to its employees. If these training programs necessitate travel for the Principal Executive or any other employee, the franchisee is responsible for covering all associated travel, living, and other expenses.
This requirement ensures that all employees, regardless of their location, receive standardized training that aligns with Better Blend's operational standards. As a result, franchisees should be prepared to allocate resources for employee training programs as directed by Better Blend, including covering any travel-related costs.
