What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, additional training may delay the opening of your restaurant. The franchisor may, in its sole discretion, require one or more of your managers or your Franchisee Designate to engage in additional training beyond the initial eighty (80) hours of on-the-job training.
Beyond Juicery Eatery requires your team to be certified and satisfactorily complete the on-the-job training. The initial management training program is approximately three weeks (approximately 128 hours). This training covers Beyond Juicery Eatery's cultural orientation, management and communication seminars, accounting, reporting and inspection requirements, marketing orientation and general service, managerial and operational sessions, and classroom and on-the-job preparation, catering, cooking, and serving operations.
You are responsible for the costs associated with additional training, including travel, wages, and living expenses for both your team and Beyond Juicery Eatery's staff if they provide the training. This is in addition to the initial costs you incur for the standard training program. Therefore, it is important to budget for potential additional training expenses and be prepared for a possible delay in your restaurant opening if Beyond Juicery Eatery deems further training necessary.
