What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees or their representatives will not receive compensation or reimbursement from Carbones Pizzeria for any services performed or expenses incurred during any training period or seminar.
This means that while the initial training program is provided at no additional cost to the franchisee, the franchisee is responsible for covering all costs and expenses for themselves and their employees to attend the training. This includes travel, accommodation, wages, and any other expenses incurred during the training period.
Franchisees should factor these costs into their initial investment and operating budget. It is common in the franchise industry for franchisees to bear the costs of attending training, as the franchisor's provision of the training program itself is considered a significant benefit.
