What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, additional training programs or "refresher courses" will be made available on an ad hoc basis if Carbones Pizzeria feels they are necessary to familiarize franchisees with changes and updates to their franchise system. These changes and updates are related to Section 7 of the Franchise Agreement.
Carbones Pizzeria can require franchisees to attend this training. Currently, Carbones Pizzeria does not charge for this training, but they may do so in the future. If new menu offerings are developed or existing offerings are modified, Carbones Pizzeria will provide guidance on these new items, as stated in Section 8 of the Franchise Agreement. However, franchisees are solely responsible for establishing their own prices.
This means that as a Carbones Pizzeria franchisee, you may be required to attend additional training to stay updated on system changes. While currently free, these sessions could incur costs in the future, so it's important to factor that possibility into your financial planning. Additionally, while Carbones Pizzeria will guide you on new menu items, you retain control over pricing decisions for your restaurant.
