Under what circumstances related to training programs can the Bonchon franchise agreement be terminated?

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement can be terminated if the franchisee, their Operating Principal, General Manager, Area Manager, and all others required to do so fail to attend or successfully complete the Initial Training Program or Partner Training Program. This means that Bonchon requires specific individuals to complete their training programs, and failure to do so can result in the termination of the franchise agreement.

Bonchon mandates that certain personnel, such as the General Manager and potentially the franchisee or Operating Principal, must attend and successfully complete either the Initial Training Program or the Partner Training Program. The Initial Training Program is more comprehensive, while the Partner Training Program is an alternative for franchisees or Operating Principals who will not be involved in the day-to-day operations. The Area Manager is also required to attend and successfully complete the Initial Training Program.

This requirement underscores the importance Bonchon places on standardized training and operational knowledge. Franchisees must ensure that all required personnel attend and successfully complete the necessary training programs to avoid potential termination of their franchise agreement. This also highlights the need for franchisees to carefully select and train their staff to meet Bonchon's standards.
