What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chocolate Bash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is a limit to the number of people who can attend the initial training program. The FDD states that up to three people can attend training at no cost, but the franchisee must cover their travel and living expenses.
The document specifies that the franchisee must attend training and may send additional personnel to training, up to the maximum number allowed. The FDD does not specify what the maximum number of additional people is.
If a Chocolate Bash franchisee needs to send a new general manager to the training program, they will be charged a fee of $150 per day. While additional training programs or refresher courses are not currently required, Chocolate Bash retains the right to implement them in the future.
