Chicken_Guy Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If you operate two or more franchised Chicken Guy! Restaurants, within 90 days after you open your third Franchised Restaurant, you may request permission to establish one of your Franchised Restaurants as a Certified Training Restaurant ("CTR") at which you will offer the initial manager training program to your employees. We must certify the Franchised Restaurant as a CTR before you may begin training there. We may periodically visit the CTR to ensure that it continues to meet our standards and we may revoke our certification if the CTR ceases to meet those standards.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can request permission to establish a Certified Training Restaurant (CTR) if they operate two or more franchised Chicken Guy restaurants. The request can be made within 90 days after opening their third franchised restaurant.
Chicken Guy requires that the Franchised Restaurant be certified as a CTR before the franchisee can begin training employees at that location. Chicken Guy retains the right to periodically visit the CTR to ensure it continues to meet their standards.
Chicken Guy also has the authority to revoke the certification if the CTR no longer meets the required standards. This ensures that all training locations maintain the quality and consistency expected by the Chicken Guy brand.
