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)
Based on the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not specify a payment deadline for additional training requested by a franchisee. The FDD does mention the initial training program that at least two managers, one being from the ownership group, must attend before opening a Buns On Fire restaurant.
However, the FDD lacks details regarding the circumstances under which additional training might be required or requested, the costs associated with such training, and when payment for this training would be due.
Therefore, prospective Buns On Fire franchisees should directly ask the franchisor about the availability, requirements, costs, and payment terms for any additional training programs beyond the initial training. This information is crucial for understanding the full scope of training-related financial obligations.
