Is the Affiliate Franchisee responsible for the Franchisor's trainer(s) costs to train the Affiliate Franchisee personnel at the Master Franchised Bhc Restaurant?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Affiliate Franchisee is indeed responsible for covering specific costs associated with the Franchisor's trainers when they train the Affiliate Franchisee's personnel. These costs include accommodation, transportation, meals, daily allowances, and other related expenses. This training takes place either at a Master Franchised Bhc Restaurant or another location designated by Bhc.

This means that in addition to the training fee itself, the Affiliate Franchisee must budget for and bear the financial burden of supporting the trainers during the training period. This can add a significant expense to the initial investment, as these costs can vary depending on the location, duration of the training, and the number of trainers involved.

Prospective Affiliate Franchisees should carefully consider these additional training-related costs when evaluating the overall financial feasibility of investing in a Bhc franchise. It is important to obtain a clear understanding of the expected duration and location of the training, as well as the number of trainers that will be involved, in order to accurately estimate these expenses. This will help in developing a realistic budget and avoiding unexpected financial strain during the initial phase of the franchise operation.
