What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Carls Jr. Franchise Disclosure Document, the CrunchTime training is conducted remotely. The training follows a train-the-trainer model and consists of 4 hours of remote training conducted in a classroom setting. The training includes a screen share, and advance class registration is required.
This means that franchisees or their designated trainers will participate in the CrunchTime training remotely, likely from their own location. The 'train-the-trainer' model suggests that those who complete the training will then be responsible for training other employees within their Carls Jr. franchise.
The remote nature of the training reduces travel costs and time for franchisees. However, franchisees should ensure they have adequate internet access and a suitable classroom environment for the 4-hour training session. Advance registration implies that franchisees need to plan ahead and secure their spot in the training program.
