What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 8-hour training session is held either at the Restaurant Support Center or via a virtual session. This training is part of the initial training program that franchisees or their operating partners and general managers must complete before opening a Checkers restaurant.
The training location is specified as "Tampa, on-site at the Restaurant Support Center or via virtual session." This provides flexibility, allowing Checkers to conduct the training in person at their support center or remotely through a virtual platform. The 8-hour session is classroom-based, with no on-the-job training hours associated with it.
For prospective franchisees, this means they should be prepared to travel to Tampa for training or participate remotely. The format may depend on Checkers' current policies and the franchisee's circumstances. It is important to confirm with Checkers which format will be used for the training program to make necessary arrangements for travel and accommodation, if required.
