What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Apple Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the operational training for labor scheduling is between 0 and 3 hours, according to one table. However, another table states the operational training for labor scheduling is 4 hours.
Prospective franchisees should note the discrepancy in the provided training hours. It is important to clarify with Big Apple Bagels which training schedule is most current and accurate. Understanding the time commitment for labor scheduling training is crucial for managing staff effectively and ensuring smooth store operations.
It is also important to note that the location for operational training is held at a designated operational franchise store for the initial training and later at the franchisee's own new store. The location of the initial training program is subject to change. In addition, the training program may be conducted in different locations and ways, in the event of circumstances beyond Big Apple Bagels' control.
