What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training fee is $8,000 for up to two people. This fee does not include travel expenses, which are the responsibility of the franchisee.
The initial training program is designed to provide the General Manager and at least one Principal Equity Operator with an orientation to the Bhc system and instructions on how to operate the franchised business. The training lasts for six days, although the length may vary depending on the franchisee's experience and needs, as determined by Bhc.
It is mandatory for the required trainees to attend the initial training, and a franchisee cannot open their Bhc restaurant until the General Manager has satisfactorily completed the training. Failure to complete the initial training to Bhc's satisfaction can be grounds for termination of the Franchise Agreement, although the General Manager may be offered an opportunity to retake the training or be replaced by another approved manager.
