What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of on-the-job training hours for all Camp Margaritaville procedures is 33 hours. This is broken down into 16 hours for Front of House (FOH) procedures, 8 hours for Back of House (BOH) procedures, and 8 hours for management procedures.
The training takes place at a Franchisor-selected Margaritaville-branded venue. However, the 8 hours for Back of House procedures may be reduced if the resort has very limited food and beverage operations, such as no food or only a bar. In this case, the BOH procedures may be reduced by 8 hours.
Prospective franchisees should consider the costs associated with sending their personnel to the training location, including wages, salaries, housing, travel-related expenses, and per diem charges. It is important to note that the franchisee is responsible for these costs, subject to a mutually agreed-upon budget. Understanding the full scope of these expenses is crucial for budgeting and financial planning when investing in a Camp Margaritaville franchise.
