What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Designated Manager must attend and successfully complete the Initial Training Program to the Company's satisfaction at least 14 days prior to the opening of the Franchisee's Business. The Initial Training Program consists of approximately two weeks of combined classroom and on-the-job instruction. The training covers various aspects of operating the Byrider business, including sales and marketing methods, financial controls, customer service, and record keeping.
If a franchisee names a new Designated Manager, that manager must complete the Initial Training Program within thirty (30) days of being hired. Byrider allows one new Designated Manager per year to attend the Initial Training Program without tuition. However, the franchisee is responsible for all travel costs, room and board, and employee salaries associated with the training.
If Byrider determines that the Designated Manager cannot satisfactorily complete the Initial Training Program, Byrider has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement. Upon termination, the franchisee and its owners must sign a general release, releasing Byrider from any claims. The franchisee will then lose all rights to the business, the Marks, and the System.
