rant. We will provide approximately nine (9) additional hours of training for the Master Franchisee program. Before you open your Affiliate Franchised BHC Restaurant, we will train you and your manager-level employees to operate a BHC Restaurant. We will provide approximately six (6) days to seven (7) days (e.g., 54 hours to 63 hours) of training (although the
specific number of days depends on our opinion of your experience and needs) at your first Affiliate Franchised BHC Restaurant or another location we designate ("Initial Training" specified in Section 6.1 of the MFA). You must attend the entire Initial Training. You must pay all the expenses incurred by your trainees and attendees in connection with the Initial Training and any other training, conferences, conventions, or other meetings your trainees attend, including, for example, their daily allowance, transportation costs, and other living expenses (section 6.1(e) of the MFA).
Training will occur after you sign the MFA and while you are developing the first Affiliate Franchised BHC Restaurant. You and your attendees must complete the entire Initial Training to our satisfaction before you may open your Affiliate Franchised BHC Restaurant. If you or your attendees do not successfully graduate our Initial Training, you will have to attend the entire program again at your cost prior the opening of your Affiliate Franchised BHC Restaurant. We reserve the right to vary the length and content of the Initial Training based upon the experience and skill level of the individual attending the Initial Training. Franchisor is not obligated to renew Master Franchisee's rights granted under the MFA for an additional term if one or more of the following applies or occurs.
No additional training programs or refresher courses are required but may be provided by us. However, you can request additional on-site training or assistance at any time. We may provide this training or assistance at our option, but the MFA does not require us to do so.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the training program for operating an Affiliate Franchised Bhc Restaurant involves two different training durations depending on whether you are a Master Franchisee or an Affiliate Franchisee. For Master Franchisees and their manager-level employees, Bhc provides approximately six to seven days of initial training, which translates to 54 to 63 hours. This training occurs while the franchisee is developing their first Affiliate Franchised Bhc Restaurant.
For an Affiliate Franchisee, Bhc offers approximately ten days of training. The specific number of days may vary based on Bhc's assessment of the franchisee's experience and needs. This training takes place at the Affiliate Franchised Bhc Restaurant location or another designated location. Franchisees must complete the training program to Bhc's satisfaction at least one day before opening their restaurant.
Prospective franchisees should note that they are responsible for covering all expenses related to the training, including daily allowances, travel, meals, and living expenses incurred by themselves and their employees. Additionally, failure to successfully graduate from the training program will require the franchisee to attend the entire program again at their own cost before opening the Affiliate Franchised Bhc Restaurant. Bhc also requires the franchisee to implement a training program for their own employees, as well as ensuring that any subfranchisees also implement a training program for their employees.
