What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Master Franchisee must ensure their General Manager satisfactorily completes the Initial Training program before opening and operating a Master Franchised Bhc Restaurant. This Initial Training is designed to provide an orientation to the Bhc system and instructions on how to operate the franchised business. The document emphasizes the critical importance of the General Manager understanding the franchised business and the system.
The Initial Training lasts for six days, although the number of days may vary depending on the Master Franchisee's experience and needs, as determined by Bhc. The fee for this training is $8,000 for up to two people, excluding travel expenses. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, the Master Franchisee's required trainees must attend the Initial Training offered by Bhc.
If the General Manager fails to complete the Initial Training to Bhc's satisfaction, it can be grounds for termination of the agreement. However, before termination, the General Manager will be offered the opportunity to retake the training, or the Master Franchisee may send a replacement General Manager, approved by Bhc, to the next available Initial Training program. This requirement ensures that those responsible for operating the Bhc restaurant are adequately trained and knowledgeable about the brand's standards and procedures.
