What is the per-week, per-attendee initial training charge for each additional attendee beyond the first four for a Buona franchise?

According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training is provided for the operating owner, general manager, and two assistant managers. Buona does not charge for the first four attendees. However, if a franchisee wishes to send additional personnel to the initial training program, they will incur a cost of $1,500 per week for each attendee beyond the initial four.

This fee covers the cost of the additional training. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor this cost into their initial investment, especially if they plan to have more than four people attend the initial training. This cost can quickly add up, so franchisees should carefully consider how many employees need to be trained initially.

It is typical in the franchise industry to provide initial training to franchisees and their key personnel. Some franchisors include this training as part of the initial franchise fee, while others charge a separate training fee. The $1,500 per week per-attendee charge for additional attendees is an important factor for prospective Buona franchisees to consider when budgeting for their initial investment and ongoing operational costs.
