What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Partner Training Program includes a total of 26 hours of classroom training. This training is designed to prepare franchisees and their staff for managing the restaurant and leading shifts. The classroom hours are in addition to 65 hours of on-the-job training.
The classroom training covers essential aspects of restaurant management, providing a foundation of knowledge before practical application. The on-the-job training complements this by offering hands-on experience in a real-world setting. This blended approach ensures that trainees receive both theoretical and practical knowledge, which is crucial for the successful operation of a Bonchon franchise.
The Partner Training Program is held approximately 10-20 times a year, or more frequently if needed, and lasts for about 11 to 20 days. The training may occur at Bonchon's Restaurant Support Center in Dallas, TX, or at a designated Bonchon Training Restaurant. This comprehensive training program is provided at no expense to the franchisee, although costs for additional or replacement trainees may apply, as detailed in Item 6 of the FDD.
