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 their attendees at any post-opening training, additional training, conferences, or meetings. These costs include travel, hotel, and meals.
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 by Bhc will be at the franchisee's expense. This can include costs for the General Manager, Principal Equity Operators, and other manager-level employees to attend additional training programs if Bhc requests it.
Prospective franchisees should factor in these potential ongoing training expenses when assessing the overall cost of investing in a Bhc franchise. It's important to budget for travel, accommodation, and meals for all required personnel to attend these post-opening events to ensure compliance with Bhc's training requirements and maintain the quality of operations at the franchised restaurant.
