What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Initial Training Program and Partner Training Program are conducted approximately 10-20 times a year, but may be offered more frequently if needed. These programs are essential for franchisees and their staff to properly operate a Bonchon restaurant.
The Initial Training Program and Partner Training Program are conducted for approximately 11 to 20 days. The training takes place at the Restaurant Support Center in Dallas, TX, or at a designated Bonchon Training Restaurant. The training includes manuals, demonstrations, lectures, and discussions. The instructors have a minimum of 3 to 13 years of experience in relevant fields.
Bonchon requires the franchisee or their Operating Principal (if they are involved in the restaurant's daily operations), the General Manager, Manager, and Area Manager to complete the Initial Training Program. If the franchisee or Operating Principal is not involved in daily on-site management, they have the option to complete either the Initial Training Program or the Partner Training Program. Each restaurant must have at least two fully-trained managers who intend to work full-time. Participation in these programs is limited and scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
