If a Chocolate Bash franchisee sends an employee to training after opening, is there a fee?

According to Chocolate Bash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee sends an employee to the Chocolate Bash training program after the store opening, Chocolate Bash may charge its then-current training fee. As of the date of the Franchise Agreement, the training fee is $150 per person. This fee covers the cost of the training itself.

This means that franchisees need to budget for ongoing training expenses if they plan to send employees for additional training after the initial pre-opening training. This could be due to employee turnover, the need for specialized skills, or updates to the Chocolate Bash system. The franchisee will need to factor in the cost of training fees in addition to the employee's wages and any travel-related expenses.

Franchisees should confirm the current training fee with Chocolate Bash before sending employees to training, as the fee is subject to change. Understanding these costs is crucial for managing the overall profitability of the Chocolate Bash franchise and ensuring that staff are adequately trained to meet Chocolate Bash's standards.
