What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchise agreement governs the operation of the franchisee's first, second, or third Bonchon restaurant, Bonchon will provide trainers for 12-14 days surrounding the restaurant's opening. While there is no fee for the actual training, the franchisee is responsible for the expenses Bonchon incurs for lodging, travel, and meals.
To cover these expenses, the franchisee must pay Bonchon an On-Site Opening Training and Assistance Fee. This fee is $6,500 if operating a Fast Casual, Delivery and Carryout Only, or Remote Kitchen Restaurant, or $9,500 if operating a Dine-In Restaurant.
The On-Site Opening Training and Assistance Fee is payable one calendar week following the restaurant opening. This means a franchisee needs to be prepared to pay this fee shortly after the restaurant begins operations.
