What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of training hours provided at a company restaurant is 76 hours. This is broken down into specific tasks 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 training hours are provided at a company restaurant, franchise restaurant, and via Zoom as directed.
For a prospective franchisee, this detailed breakdown of training hours highlights the areas of focus during the training program. It demonstrates the importance Buns On Fire places on both operational tasks and management responsibilities. The fact that training is conducted in various formats (in-person at both franchise and company restaurants, as well as via Zoom) suggests a flexible approach to accommodate different learning styles and logistical needs.
It is important to note that the training hours listed are specific to the tasks outlined in the table. Additional training may be provided on other aspects of the Buns On Fire business, as indicated in other sections of the FDD that mention a two-week initial training program. Franchisees should inquire about the full scope of the training program to understand the total time commitment involved.
