What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Casiola establishes a System-Wide Training Program, it will be offered at the affiliate-owned Casiola Business in Orlando, Florida. This program is not guaranteed, as Casiola reserves the right to establish it at their discretion.
If a franchisee (or their Managing Owner, if the franchisee is a corporation) is required to attend this System-Wide Training Program, they will be responsible for all associated costs. These costs include travel, lodging, food, automobile rental expenses, and employee wages incurred during their attendance.
Casiola will not require attendance at the System-Wide Training Program for more than five days in any calendar year. This means that while the training is not mandatory unless Casiola decides to implement it, franchisees need to be prepared for the potential costs and time commitment should it be required.
