What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Burros Fries Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for the costs associated with attending refresher training programs. Specifically, the franchisee must cover expenses such as travel, room, and board. These costs apply to any refresher training opportunities that Burros Fries may provide.
Burros Fries may offer refresher or continuing education through phone, webinars, video, or at designated locations, most likely at their headquarters. If the refresher training or continuing education is not conducted via phone, webinars, or video, there may be a registration charge, but it will not exceed $300 per person per ½ day. The franchisee remains responsible for costs like travel and accommodation. These programs are expected to occur at least quarterly, subject to special needs, and typically do not exceed a day in length.
Burros Fries may also conduct an annual convention where refresher and continuing education are available. While Burros Fries aims to maintain the registration fee at cost, the franchisee is responsible for travel, room, and board expenses associated with attending the convention. The registration fee for conferences will not exceed $1,000 per person. It is important to note that these fees are subject to increase based on the actual costs incurred by Burros Fries.
