What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Back of House training, along with other training subjects, primarily takes place at the corporate headquarters in Chula Vista, CA, or as otherwise specified by the franchisor.
The Back of House training includes 4 hours of classroom instruction and 7 hours of on-the-job training. The training involves the operations manual, demonstrations, on-the-job training, and various speakers. Other training topics such as Standards and Philosophy, Menu Overview and Approved Products, How to Clean and Cut Meat, and Recipes and Food Preparation also take place at the corporate headquarters or as otherwise specified.
This means that franchisees and their managers should expect to travel to Chula Vista, CA for the initial training program. While the FDD specifies the location, it also states "or as we otherwise specify", so it is possible that Burros Fries may offer alternative training locations in the future. It is important to note that while the initial training program is included in the initial franchise fee, franchisees are responsible for all costs associated with attending the program, such as travel, room, and board.
