What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee requests a consultant to provide training, assistance, and advice on operational issues at their franchise, they must reimburse Buns On Fire for travel expenses incurred by the consultant.
In addition to covering travel expenses, the franchisee is also responsible for paying the then-current per diem training fee for the consulting assistance provided. This fee is in addition to the reimbursement for travel expenses.
This means that franchisees need to budget not only for the consultant's time but also for all associated travel costs if they request on-site operational support from Buns On Fire. Franchisees should confirm the current per diem training fee with Buns On Fire to accurately forecast these potential expenses.
