What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, supplemental on-site training may be required if a franchisee is not meeting the System's performance standards. Casiola has the discretion to determine if such training is necessary and can mandate that both the franchisee and their Operating Manager participate.
If Casiola deems supplemental on-site training is required, it will be conducted within the franchisee's Operating Market. The franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with this training. These costs include a supplemental training fee, which is currently $750 per on-site trainer per day, as well as all travel expenses, meals, and accommodation expenses incurred by Casiola.
This policy highlights the importance of meeting Casiola's performance standards to avoid additional training costs. It also gives Casiola significant control over the training and support provided to franchisees after the initial training period, ensuring consistent standards across all franchise locations. Prospective franchisees should factor in the potential costs of supplemental training when evaluating the overall investment and operational requirements of a Casiola franchise.
