What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chocolate Bash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchisee does not personally supervise the business, the general manager must complete the Chocolate Bash training program. The franchisee must ensure that either they or a trained general manager provides on-site supervision at all times. If a new general manager needs training, Chocolate Bash charges a fee of $150 per day for the training program.
The initial training program's length and content can be adjusted by Chocolate Bash based on the attendee's experience and skill level. The training includes the Operating Manual, lectures, discussions, on-the-job demonstrations, and practice. Training classes are typically held four to six times per year at Chocolate Bash's offices and business location in Los Angeles, California.
Franchisees are responsible for covering the travel and living expenses for themselves and any additional staff attending the training. While Chocolate Bash does not currently mandate additional training programs or refresher courses, they retain the right to implement them in the future.
