What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the hands-on training for managing the restaurant and leading the shift consists of 4 hours of classroom training and 10 hours of on-the-job training. This training takes place at a Bonchon Training Restaurant, though the specific location is to be determined by Bonchon.
Bonchon conducts its Initial Training Program and Partner Training Program approximately 10-20 times a year, or more frequently if needed. These programs last approximately 11 to 20 days and may occur at the Restaurant Support Center in Dallas, TX, and/or at a designated Bonchon Training Restaurant.
Prospective franchisees should note that attending the Initial Training Program is mandatory for the franchisee or their Operating Principal (if they are involved in the restaurant's daily operations), as well as the General Manager, Manager, and Area Manager. Bonchon does not charge a fee for the Initial Training Program or Partner Training Program, but the franchisee is responsible for the lodging, transportation, and food expenses for the training.
