What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chesters' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initially, certain employees, the number and level of which Chesters specifies, must satisfactorily complete Chesters' initial brand standard training program at the designated location before the restaurant can begin operations. This ensures that a base level of knowledge and skill is present at the restaurant's opening.
After the initial training, with Chesters' prior written approval, a franchisee's trained managers are authorized to train new and additional restaurant employees. This allows for ongoing training and development of staff as needed, providing flexibility for the franchisee. However, this is contingent on the managers themselves being adequately trained and approved by Chesters.
Chesters retains the right to charge the franchisee for additional or special guidance, assistance, or training that the franchisee may need or request. Furthermore, Chesters can charge $1,000 per day for any additional training deemed necessary if the restaurant fails an inspection, especially if the restaurant was not adequately prepared for the training. This highlights the importance of maintaining standards and being prepared for inspections to avoid additional costs.
