What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the on-the-job training for Station Training takes place at designated company training restaurants. The Station Training program is divided into two weeks, with the first week focusing on back-of-house operations and the second week on front-of-house duties.
During the Station Training, trainees receive 134 hours of on-the-job training. This hands-on approach allows trainees to learn the practical skills necessary to operate a Bojangles restaurant effectively. The absence of classroom training during Station Training emphasizes the importance of learning through direct experience in a real restaurant environment.
For prospective franchisees, this means that they or their designated employees will spend a significant amount of time working in a Bojangles restaurant to learn the necessary skills. This practical training is crucial for understanding the day-to-day operations and ensuring consistent quality and service at their own franchise location. The cost of this training is covered by Bojangles, but the franchisee is responsible for travel and living expenses.
