What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 FDD, the Bevaris Alliance franchisee is responsible for covering the cost of meals if they request or are required to undergo additional training. Specifically, if the franchisee requests additional training, or if Bevaris Alliance requires it, the franchisee may be charged a reasonable hourly or daily fee.
In addition to the training fees, the franchisee is also responsible for reimbursing Bevaris Alliance for travel, lodging, and meals associated with the additional training. This means that franchisees need to factor in these potential costs when budgeting for ongoing training and development.
This arrangement is fairly standard in the franchise industry, where franchisees typically bear the costs associated with additional training beyond the initial program. It ensures that franchisees have access to further development opportunities while also managing their own expenses.
