Under what condition can Burros Fries terminate the Franchise Agreement if the Franchisee or Manager do not satisfactorily complete the training?

According to the 2024 Burros Fries Franchise Disclosure Document, Burros Fries can terminate the Franchise Agreement under specific training-related conditions. If a franchisee fails to attend and satisfactorily complete the initial training program within 60 days of the anticipated business opening date, Burros Fries has grounds for termination.

Additionally, Burros Fries can terminate the agreement if the franchisee, its owners, or the general manager attend the initial training program, but Burros Fries determines, in its sole discretion, that they have failed the program. In this case, the franchisee has the option to appoint another general manager to attend the training. However, if the replacement general manager also fails the initial training program or is deemed unqualified to manage the business, Burros Fries can also terminate the agreement.

This clause highlights the importance Burros Fries places on proper training and management competence. It also gives Burros Fries significant discretion in determining whether a franchisee or manager has met the required training standards. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider these terms and the potential financial implications of failing to meet the training requirements, as termination could result in the loss of their investment.
