Who is responsible for hiring and training the employees of an Affiliate Franchised Bhc Restaurant?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for hiring and training their employees. Specifically, the franchisee is responsible for hiring all employees for their Affiliate Franchised Bhc Restaurant.

In addition to hiring, the franchisee is also responsible for training their employees. However, Bhc does offer training programs for the Principal Equity Operators, General Manager, and manager-level employees. This training is approximately ten days, but the specific length depends on Bhc's assessment of the franchisee's experience and needs. The franchisee must also cover the costs of daily allowance, travel, meals, and living expenses incurred by Bhc for the training.

Furthermore, the franchisee must implement a training program for their Master Franchising Business employees that complies with Bhc's requirements. They must also ensure that their Affiliate Franchisee and Subfranchisees implement a training program for the employees of their Master Franchised Bhc Restaurants, also in compliance with Bhc's requirements. This ensures that all employees within the Bhc system receive adequate and standardized training, maintaining the brand's quality and operational standards.
