What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, the on-the-job training for Overall Supervision in the Full Service model consists of 24 hours. This training is structured as MOD (3) 8-hour shifts, meaning it is broken up into three 8-hour shifts.
This means that franchisees and their managers will receive practical, hands-on experience in overseeing the operations of a full-service Carbones Pizzeria restaurant. The training is designed to be delivered in manageable blocks of time, likely integrated into the daily workflow of an existing Carbones Pizzeria location. This allows trainees to learn in a real-world environment and apply their knowledge immediately.
The structure of the training, divided into three 8-hour shifts, suggests a focus on different aspects of overall supervision during each shift. This could include opening procedures, peak service management, closing duties, or specific operational tasks. The MOD designation indicates that a manager or experienced staff member will be present to guide and supervise the trainee during these shifts.
Prospective franchisees should inquire about the specific content covered during these 24 hours of on-the-job training. Understanding the curriculum and learning objectives for each 8-hour shift will help them prepare themselves and their managers for this crucial aspect of running a Carbones Pizzeria Full Service restaurant.
