Who must attend the standard preopening training for Chocolate Bash?

According to Chocolate Bash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand will make its standard preopening training available to the Principal Executive and up to two other employees. This training will occur at Chocolate Bash's headquarters or at a designated Chocolate Bash business.

Chocolate Bash does not charge a fee for this training; however, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs of travel, lodging, meals, and any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the training period. This is a fairly standard arrangement in the franchise industry, where the franchisor provides the training content, but the franchisee bears the logistical costs.

Chocolate Bash retains the right to modify the length and content of the initial training program based on the experience and skill level of the individuals attending. This flexibility allows Chocolate Bash to tailor the training to the specific needs of each franchisee, potentially saving time and resources for experienced individuals while providing more comprehensive support to those who are new to the business or industry.
