What instructional materials are used in the Beverly Anns Cookie training program?

According to the 2025 Beverly Anns Cookie Franchise Disclosure Document, the instructional materials for the training program consist of the GRM/GRT (presumably the Gourmet Retail Machine/Gourmet Retail Trailer) and its equipment, manufacturer brochures and operational manuals, and the Brand Manual. This suggests that the training is hands-on, using the actual equipment franchisees will operate, supplemented by documentation from both the equipment manufacturers and Beverly Anns Cookie itself.

For a prospective franchisee, this means the training will likely involve direct experience with the GRM/GRT and its components. The inclusion of manufacturer brochures and operational manuals indicates that franchisees will need to understand the technical aspects of the equipment. The Brand Manual will likely cover the specific operational standards and procedures Beverly Anns Cookie requires.

It is important to note that the FDD mentions the Brand Manual is also available on the Beverly Ann's Cookie website. The Brand Manual contains approximately 98 pages, and the table of contents for the Brand Manual is attached to the Franchise Disclosure Document as Exhibit E. Franchisees should review Exhibit E to understand the topics covered in the Brand Manual.
