What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee transfers their interest in the franchise, the transferee and their employees, as required by Carbones Pizzeria, must complete the initial training program before the transfer is finalized.
This requirement ensures that the new owner and their staff are properly trained in the Carbone System before taking over operations. This protects the brand's standards and reputation by ensuring that the new management is competent in running the Carbones Pizzeria business.
Typically, franchisors require transferees to undergo training to maintain consistency across all franchise locations. This requirement is a standard practice in the franchise industry to ensure brand uniformity and quality control. The transferee is also responsible for paying a transfer fee of $5,000 at the time they seek Carbones Pizzeria's consent to the transfer.
