What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, non-operating owners receive on-the-job training covering several key areas. This training is part of a broader program that includes both on-site work at a Carbones Pizzeria restaurant in the Twin Cities area and some classroom instruction. The total training for a non-operating owner is approximately 3 days in length.
The on-the-job training for non-operating owners includes opening duties, practical kitchen training, administration, and POS (Point of Sale) training, totaling 8 hours. It also includes closing duties, practical kitchen training, administration, and POS training, also totaling 8 hours. In total, non-operating owners receive 16 hours of on-the-job training.
Prospective franchisees should note that this training is tailored for those who will not be actively managing the day-to-day operations. The FDD also specifies that owner-operators and operations managers undergo a more extensive training program lasting approximately 12-24 days. This difference highlights the importance of understanding the level of involvement expected from the franchisee and their team. The costs associated with attending the training program are the responsibility of the franchisee.
