What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, it is critically important for a franchisee's General Manager and Principal Equity Operators to understand the franchised business and system. Prior to opening a Bhc restaurant, the franchisee's General Manager and at least one Principal Equity Operator must attend the initial training program. The initial training program lasts for six days, though the number of days may vary depending on the franchisee's experience and needs, as determined by Bhc. The training provides an orientation to the Bhc system and instructions on how to operate the franchised business.
The franchisee may not open and operate their Bhc restaurant until the General Manager has satisfactorily completed the initial training. Bhc has the sole discretion to determine whether the General Manager has satisfactorily completed the training. The initial training fee is $8,000 for up to two people, excluding travel expenses.
Unless there are extenuating circumstances, the required trainees must attend the initial training offered by Bhc. Failure of the General Manager to complete the initial training to Bhc's satisfaction can be grounds for termination of the franchise agreement. However, before termination, the General Manager will be offered the opportunity to retake the training, or the franchisee may send a replacement General Manager, approved by Bhc, to the next available initial training program.
