Buns_On_Fire Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Prior to opening the Franchised Business, at most two (2) managers, at least one of whom shall be a partner from the ownership group, shall attend Franchisor's initial training program, which shall be conducted at the Buns on Fire restaurant location that we designate as convenient for all parties, or at another location designated by Franchisor, and shall complete said training course to Franchisor's satisfaction.
All training must be completed to Franchisor's satisfaction.
If this Agreement is for Franchisee's second or subsequent Franchised Business, we may reduce at our sole discretion the number of managers required to complete training and/or not require a member of the ownership group to attend training, but in any event a trained and approved manager must be on duty at all times that your Franchised Business is open.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, prior to opening a Buns On Fire franchised business, at most two managers, with at least one being a partner from the ownership group, must attend and complete the franchisor's initial training program to the franchisor's satisfaction. The training is conducted at a location designated by Buns On Fire.
For franchisees acquiring a second or subsequent Buns On Fire franchise, the franchisor may reduce the number of managers required to complete the training or waive the requirement for a member of the ownership group to attend. However, a trained and approved manager must be on duty whenever the franchised business is open.
In summary, the assignment of a Buns On Fire franchise is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of the initial training program by the required number of managers. This ensures that the franchisee and their team are adequately prepared to operate the business according to Buns On Fire standards. The training requirements may be adjusted for franchisees who already own existing Buns On Fire locations.
