What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee names a new Designated Manager, that manager must complete Byrider's Initial Training Program within 30 days of being hired. The franchisee can send one new Designated Manager per year to this training program without incurring a charge for the program itself.
However, the franchisee is responsible for covering all travel costs, room and board, and the Designated Manager's salary while they attend the training. This means that the franchisee needs to budget for these expenses when a new Designated Manager is hired and needs training.
It's important to note that if Byrider determines 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, and the franchisee will lose all rights to the business, trademarks, and the Byrider system.
