What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee desires to have additional managers trained, Buona will make this opportunity available provided training space is available in a regularly scheduled class. For each additional manager, the franchisee will pay the then-current fee for this additional training.

Buona also requires that the Operating Owner and three managers attend and successfully complete the initial training program. The cost of initial training for both the Operating Owner and three managers (instruction and required materials) is borne by Buona. However, all other expenses, including travel, meals and lodging and franchisee's employee wages, are the responsibility of the franchisee. Additional owners and managers may attend the initial training program as space is available and for the current tuition fee.

If Buona determines that any proposed manager is not qualified to manage the Franchised Business, Buona will notify the franchisee, and the franchisee must then select and enroll a substitute manager in such training program. The substitute manager must attend and successfully complete the initial training program.
