According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the on-the-job training for Food Preparation Procedures is 3 days. This training takes place at the franchisee's restaurant.
This on-the-job training is part of the initial brand standard training program that Chesters provides to its franchisees and their employees. The initial training program is designed to instruct franchisees and their employees on the required procedures and techniques to operate a Chesters restaurant. The initial brand standard training program will last up to 4 days and includes both classroom instruction and on-the-job training.
Prospective franchisees should note that Chesters may require additional training or refresher courses if the restaurant fails an inspection or is not prepared for training. In such cases, Chesters may charge $1,000 a day for the additional training. Franchisees are responsible for all expenses incurred in attending training programs that are not at the restaurant.
