What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee requests additional training materials, they are responsible for covering the costs associated with developing, compiling, and distributing these materials. These costs can be charged as a fixed fee, which Chicken Guy determines based on a reasonable estimate in consultation with the franchisee, reflecting Chicken Guy's average expenses for creating such materials.
This means that beyond the standard initial and ongoing training programs, if a Chicken Guy franchisee identifies a need for specialized training resources tailored to their specific circumstances, they will need to budget for the creation of these materials. The cost will depend on the scope and complexity of the requested materials, and Chicken Guy will work with the franchisee to estimate these expenses.
It's important for prospective Chicken Guy franchisees to understand that while Chicken Guy provides comprehensive training, any custom training solutions will be an additional expense. Franchisees should discuss potential needs for additional training materials with Chicken Guy during their due diligence to better understand potential costs and ensure they are prepared to invest in the ongoing development of their team.
