What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with attending any post-opening training, additional training, conferences, or meetings. These costs include travel, hotel, and meals for the franchisee's attendees.
This means that after the initial training, which has a fee of $8,000 for up to two people excluding travel expenses, any further training or meetings required or deemed relevant by Bhc will be at the franchisee's expense. This can include costs for accommodation, transportation, and daily allowances for Bhc's trainers to train the franchisee's personnel at the restaurant or another designated location.
It is important to note that all individuals attending these post-opening events on behalf of the franchisee must have a demonstrable connection to the management and operation of the Bhc restaurant. This requirement ensures that the training and information provided are directly relevant to the business and its operations.
