What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, the training will be provided by the then-current corporate store manager, lead supervisor, or Sohaib Mohammed, or other experienced Buns on Fire personnel who Buns On Fire may designate. All individuals responsible for training will have at least two years of experience working with Buns On Fire.
In addition to in-person training, Buns On Fire also provides video training that is required prior to the initial training. These instructional videos may be accessed at any point during or after the training if requested.
Buns On Fire's operational training program consists of approximately two weeks of instruction concerning all aspects of the operation and management of the franchise business, including review and discussion of the operations manual and other detailed aspects of the operation of the business. The cost for training a management team of up to two members is included in the initial franchise fee. If a franchisee requests that Buns On Fire provide the initial training program to additional trainees, whether before the franchise business opens or while it is operating, the franchisee must pay the then-current training fee for each additional trainee. The training will take place at the Buns on Fire Restaurant location that Buns On Fire designates that is convenient for all parties. All training must be completed to Buns On Fire's satisfaction.
The training program is mandatory and is conducted throughout the year on an "as-needed" basis. The franchisee must pay all expenses that they and their team incur while attending the training program and any refresher training program that Buns On Fire requires, including travel, lodging, meals, and applicable wages. If the franchisee fails to complete the training program to Buns On Fire's satisfaction, Buns On Fire has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement without providing a refund of the initial franchise fee.
