What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, before a franchise can be transferred, the transferee and its employees, as required by Carbones Pizzeria, must complete the initial training program.
This requirement ensures that the new owner and staff are properly trained in the Carbone System before taking over the operations of the Carbones Pizzeria restaurant. This protects the brand's standards, qualities, and attributes, as the FDD states that Carbones Pizzeria wishes to maintain the distinctive standards, qualities, and attributes of a Carbone's Pizza Restaurant.
Meeting this training requirement is one of the conditions that must be satisfied for Carbones Pizzeria to approve the transfer. The transferee must also meet the current qualifications of new franchisees and execute the agreements required of new franchisees at the time of the transfer. The franchisee must also not be in default of any payments owed to Carbones Pizzeria and must have paid a $5,000 transfer fee.
