When must the transferee and its employees complete the initial training program for a Carbones Pizzeria franchise transfer?

According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee and its employees, as required by Carbones Pizzeria, must complete the initial training program prior to the closing of the franchise transfer. This requirement is one of the conditions that must be satisfied for Carbones Pizzeria to grant consent to the transfer.

This stipulation ensures that the new owner and their team are adequately trained in the Carbone System before taking over operations. The Carbone System includes the methods, processes, and techniques for preparing and selling pizza and other food and beverage items. By completing the training beforehand, the transferee can maintain the standards, qualities, and attributes of a Carbones Pizzeria restaurant.

It is important for prospective transferees to factor in the time and cost associated with this training. While the initial training program itself is provided at no additional cost, the transferee is responsible for all costs and expenses for its owners and employees to attend such training. This includes travel, accommodation, and any wages paid to employees during the training period. Ensuring that all required parties complete the training before the transfer closing is a critical step in the Carbones Pizzeria franchise transfer process.
