Who is responsible for the costs and expenses of the franchisee's attendees at any post-opening training, additional training, conferences, or meetings related to the Bhc franchise?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with their attendees participating in any post-opening training, additional training, conferences, or meetings. These costs include, but are not limited to, travel, hotel accommodations, and meals.

This means that after the initial training, if Bhc requires or allows the franchisee or their staff to attend further training sessions, conferences, or meetings, the franchisee must cover all associated costs. This can represent a significant ongoing expense for the franchisee, especially if multiple staff members are required to attend these events.

It is important to note that only individuals with a demonstrable relationship to the management and operation of the Bhc restaurant are permitted to attend these post-opening events on behalf of the franchisee. This suggests that Bhc wants to ensure that attendees are relevant to the business and can contribute to its success. Franchisees should factor these potential training costs into their financial planning and ensure that any staff attending these events are directly involved in the restaurant's operations to maximize the value of the training.
