You and your general manager (or lead Blender) must attend training. You may send any additional people to training that you want (up to the maximum described above). You must complete training to our satisfaction at least four weeks before opening your business.
Your business must at all times be under your on-site supervision or under the on-site supervision of a general manager who has completed our training program, or another supervisor

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at the initial training program is mandatory for the franchisee and their general manager, or lead Blender. The franchisee must ensure they or a trained general manager are always supervising the business on-site. The training must be completed to Better Blend's satisfaction at least four weeks before the business opens.
Better Blend allows up to four people to attend the initial training program without incurring a training fee. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering the travel and living expenses for all attendees. This provides an opportunity for the franchisee to involve additional staff members in the training process, fostering a consistent understanding of brand standards and operational procedures across the team.
If a new general manager needs training, Better Blend charges a fee of $250 per day for the training program. While Better Blend does not currently require additional training programs or refresher courses, they retain the right to implement them in the future. This ensures that franchisees and their staff remain up-to-date with any changes to the Better Blend system, maintaining quality and consistency across all locations.
