What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, staff training is primarily the responsibility of the franchisee. However, Beyond Juicery Eatery does provide initial assistance with management staff training. Specifically, Beyond Juicery Eatery will assist with management staff training at the franchisee's restaurant for approximately one week, overlapping with the restaurant's opening. The franchisor may extend this training period based on their assessment of the management staff's performance. If the franchisee requests additional assistance, they will be responsible for the trainer's per diem fee and related travel costs.
Jeff St. Andrew is principally responsible for training and is the designer of the training program. Additional employees or contractors of Beyond Juicery Eatery who have experience in some facet of the operation of a business may assist in the implementation of the Staff Training. Those employees and contractors of Beyond Juicery Eatery who participate in the training programs will have, on average, two years of experience in the subject matter being taught and at least three months of experience with the Beyond Juicery Eatery system.
After opening three restaurants, a franchisee must designate one of them as a Certified Training Restaurant, with Beyond Juicery Eatery's approval, in which they will train their management and staff. This indicates a shift in responsibility, where experienced franchisees take on a more significant role in training new staff within the system. The franchisee is solely responsible for training the rest of their staff, beyond the initial management team training provided by Beyond Juicery Eatery.
