What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chocolate Bash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the business must be under the on-site supervision of either the franchisee or a general manager who has completed the Chocolate Bash training program. This requirement ensures that someone with adequate knowledge of the Chocolate Bash system is always present during business operations.
If a franchisee chooses to hire a general manager, and that manager needs to attend the training program, Chocolate Bash charges a fee of $150 per day for the training. This cost is in addition to the franchisee's responsibility for covering the travel and living expenses for the general manager during the training period.
While Chocolate Bash does not currently mandate additional training programs or refresher courses beyond the initial training, they retain the right to implement such requirements in the future. This allows Chocolate Bash to adapt its training protocols as needed to maintain brand standards and operational efficiency. Therefore, franchisees should be prepared for potential future training obligations.
