What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, the training program includes specific hours dedicated to classroom instruction covering various operational tasks. The FDD outlines the classroom hours for key activities, such as cleaning fryers and changing oil (2 hours), cleaning the grill, dishes, and front service station (6 hours), sweeping and mopping (3 hours), cleaning windows, walls, shelves, and walk-in areas (4 hours), POS and online order receiving (5 hours), and permitting, delivery, and inventory management (6 hours). These classroom sessions are conducted via Zoom and are applicable to both franchise and company restaurant training.
In total, the classroom training hours amount to 26 hours. This structured approach ensures that franchisees and their staff receive standardized training on essential operational procedures. The training is provided by experienced Buns on Fire personnel, including the corporate store manager, lead supervisor, or other designated trainers with at least two years of experience.
Prospective franchisees should note that in addition to these classroom hours, video training is also required before the initial training. This blended approach of video and classroom instruction aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Buns on Fire's operational standards and procedures. Franchisees should confirm with the franchisor if these hours are subject to change and if there are additional training requirements not explicitly listed.
