What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Initial Training Program and Partner Training Program will be conducted for approximately 15 to 20 days. These programs may take place at Bonchon's Restaurant Support Center in Dallas, TX, or at a Bonchon Training Restaurant that they designate. Bonchon determines the date of commencement, location, and duration of the Initial Training Program and Partner Training Program and will notify the franchisee of these details.
It is important to note that any attendee of the Initial Training Program must have a current Bonchon-approved nationally accredited food manager certification, in addition to any safe food handling courses required by the local municipality where the restaurant is located. This certification must be presented to Bonchon for review before the franchisee, Operating Principal, General Manager, or Area Manager attends the Initial Training Program. However, this certification is not a prerequisite for attending the Partner Training Program. Additionally, all attendees of either training program must sign and return a Trainee Waiver, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnification Agreement before attending.
Prospective franchisees should consider the costs associated with travel and lodging to Dallas, TX, or another designated training restaurant, as these expenses are the responsibility of the franchisee. Understanding the specific location and timing of the training programs is crucial for planning and budgeting purposes. Franchisees should also inquire about the curriculum and content of both the Initial Training Program and the Partner Training Program to determine which program best suits their needs and the needs of their management team.
